As part of the Year of Public Engagement, the Office of the President has identified resources to facilitate engagement efforts.
Competitive
Engagement Grants Program
A competitive Engagement Grants program will be established in which 10 to
20 grants of $5,000-$10,000 each will be awarded (total pool of $100,000).
The grants will be given for demonstration projects in the spirit of the Year
of Public Engagement. Preference will be given to new projects that demonstrate
innovative approaches to how we as a University can engage with the public,
and those that show great promise for sustainability in the future.
President's
Award for State Outreach and Public Engagement
The recipients of the first President's Award for State Outreach and Public Engagement
will be announced during the Fall 2005 semester. This annual award honors faculty,
staff, and students (individuals or groups) who demonstrate exemplary outreach
to the State of Iowa. Three separate awards, each carrying a $1,000 personal
stipend, will be given: one each for faculty, staff, and students. Group winners
will share the $1,000 stipend equally.
The call for award nominations for 2006 will be issued during the spring semester.
