2007-2008 Scholarship of Engagement Grants - Final Report Guidelines

Introduction

We will print a document with descriptions of each of the 14 2007-2008 Scholarship of Engagement Grants* projects.

The goal of the document is to provide a captivating and exciting presentation of outreach and engagement projects by UGA faculty members.

For the document, we ask that you provide three types of information: 1. A narrative abstract; 2. Data that can be aggregated; and 3. Print-quality photographs and other images of the project; and links to web-sites.

  4. With what community (or other type) organization(s) did you partner? Why was the partnership important? How did collaborating with a non-UGA organization strengthen the impact on the community?
  5. How did the project contribute to your professional growth as a faculty member? How did your research and teaching contribute to the project? What impact will the outreach project have on your future research and teaching?
