CU Engage is happy to announce the return of the Graduate Fellowship in CBR!
CU Engage’s Graduate Fellowship in Community-Based Research helps train a generation of scholars in CBR practices/principles and prepares doctoral students for public scholarship careers. Emerging scholars are often forced to make a difficult choice – either engage in the community or do peer-reviewed research. The goal of this fellowship is to enable emerging scholars to build strong academic careers while working on public issues in partnership with community groups.
Applicants must be in their 2nd-6th years during the 2023-24 academic year, and already have established a relationship with a community partner. The online application closed on Friday, May 5, 2023 at 5pm.
See here for examples of Fellowship projects from previous years, which included students from Mechanical Engineering, Education, Computer Science, and Geography. We give priority to partnerships with people or organizations working with historically marginalized communities or projects that work to promote equity. Because we want to encourage graduate students to align CBR with their academic training and traditions, we are open to a range of types of projects. Although the language of community-based research tends to prioritize social science or citizen science methods, we welcome applications from the arts and humanities which characterize their research as creative work.
