[Announcement from Comm-engagedscholarship listserv]
Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,
Congratulations to the 115 U.S. colleges and universities selected by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching for its 2010 Community Engagement Classification (see attached list). The selection announcement is posted online at http://bit.ly/ggZAM5
It's exciting to see many members of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) on this list, including Morehouse School of Medicine, the academic partner in the first CCPH annual award-winning partnership in 2002! (Applications are due Feb 4 for this year's award: http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/awards.html)
Persistent challenges to community-engaged institutions are noted in the selection announcement. A number of resources are available CCPH to help address these challenges:
*the need for better assessment and tracking: CCPH's institutional self-assessment tool is being used by higher educational institution to assess their capacity for community engagement and community-engaged scholarship, identify priority actions and track changes over time: http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/healthcollab.html#Updates (scroll down for the tool)
*the challenge of developing authentic, relationship-centered, mutually beneficial community-academic partnerships: The CCPH Principles of Partnership, online curriculum for Developing & Sustaining Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships and Community Partner Summit materials help to inform partnership development.

*the challenge of recognizing and rewarding community-engaged scholarship (CES) in promotion and tenure (P&T): CCPH's CES Toolkit helps community-engaged faculty make their best case for P&T. The universities participating in the CES for Health Collaborative demonstrate that it's possible to align P&T policies with CES. CES4Health.info provides a venue for peer-reviewed publication and dissemination of diverse products of CES, such as educational videos, training manuals, policy briefs and online toolkits.
