In FY24, CBE researchers have been awarded a number of grants and contracts for projects that include a community engagement component, defined as “collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities (local, regional/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial creation and exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity,” by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
In FY24 (July 2023 – June 2024), CBE researchers were awarded 17 grant and contract awards, and 13 of those included community engagement components. This metric highlights the 76% of awards received which involve partnering with community stakeholders to further the impact of research in our communities.
