Learn more about how the Community-Academic Scholars Initiative may be able to support your community-based research project. During the 10-week summer program, Community-Academic Scholars work with faculty and community mentors to complete a research project that addresses health, poverty, or social inequity. The Community-Academic Scholars Initiative supports the undergraduates with training, weekly meetings, and a stipend to offset the cost of housing and/or other living expenses during the program. A limited number of eligible projects will be matched with an undergrad scholar whose interests, experience, and abilities best fit the project. This info session will cover program benefits, project selection, and reflections from past participants.
