Center for Community Partnerships: Summer Course Development GrantsThe W.K. Kellogg Foundation has provided the University with a three-year grant to link Penn's intellectual resources with community needs in West Philadelphia. The grant supports University faculty to develop new undergraduate courses that combine research with cooperative community projects. In addition, the grant provides support for undergraduates to participate in research opportunities that will both benefit the community and be integrated into the curriculum. The Kellogg Program focuses on three themes: Culture and Community Studies (coordinator: Peter Conn, Professor of English); Environment and Health (coordinator: Robert Giegengack, Professor of Geology and Director of the Center for Environmental Studies); and Nutrition and Health (coordinator: Francis E. Johnston, Professor of Anthropology). The Kellogg Program has funds available for faculty members to apply for summer course development grants. Proposals should fall within the three project areas noted above. Grants will be for no more than $3,000 per project. These funds can be used to provide graduate and undergraduate support, course implementation, course support, and/or summer salary ($3,000 is inclusive of E.B. if taken as salary). Criteria for selection will include:
