Community-based Research
The Steans Center for Community-based Service Learning will award up to three Community-based Research Faculty Fellowships for the 2022-2023 academic year.
The Center for Community Health Equity (CCHE) and the Steans Center request support for health equity research that engages a community partner in identifying solution-focused strategies to health inequities.
The Beck Women and Gender Initiative advances collaborative work between DePaul faculty, students, and community members to effect social change through a focus on social policy, advocacy, and community development.
The Community-based Research Assistant Program provides faculty with the support of a student assistant in order to support service learning research activity.
