Amplifying the Voices of Engaged Researchers, in collaboration with the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities, supports the development of long-term, sustainable community partnerships as a central component of research by providing financial awards to faculty and graduate students. This community of practice meets regularly to share ideas and strategies for engaged scholarship across geo-political boundaries while creating new knowledge and lasting ties among engaged researchers.
OSUN and the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities (TN) have awarded 24 grants to faculty and graduate students in 14 countries to support their engaged scholarship. These faculty and graduate students are working to develop long-term, sustainable community partnerships as a central part of their research, with a goal to develop shared knowledge about issues that align with OSUN and TN priorities. Engaged scholarship facilitates the development of civic capacities – such as courage, humility, and empathy – in university students, staff, faculty, and community partners.
