Early Career Faculty and Doctoral Students
The Irwin W. Steans Center for Community-based Service Learning and Community Service Studies at DePaul University invites proposals for the Chicago Service Learning Research Fellowship. Application deadline is February 28, 2017.

The Center seeks proposals for research focused on the impact of service learning on students, faculty, community partners, and/or one or more higher education institutions in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. The goal of the fellowship is to advance research on the impact of academic service learning in Chicago while supporting early career faculty and/or doctoral students in the United States. The research must focus either on analysis of existing data or the collecting of new data as well as be collaboratively developed with a Chicago higher education institution and/or community partner(s) where appropriate (e.g., research on a service learning course one is teaching may need no university or community partner). A one-week residency in Chicago at the beginning of the Fellowship as well as a one-week residency in Chicago at the end of the Fellowship will be underwritten by this Fellowship to ensure a successful research project, dissemination of the findings, and engaging with stakeholders, all in the service of extending the career development benefits for the Fellow.
