Submission deadline - Friday, December 7th, 5 pm.
Notification - Friday, December 14th.
Faculty who have offered courses supported by the American Cultures Engaged Scholarship (ACES) program are eligible to apply for ACES Course Continuation Funds. These course continuation funds are an essential element in sustaining the work already achieved within the initial ACES course offering and provide opportunities to develop the community-based partnership further. For conceptual clarity, we recognize that “sustainability” is a mighty term, and it is best guided by four levels of interpretation which include sustainability of:
-
The course offering
-
The community-partnership project
-
The dissemination of the community-partnership projects
-
The faculty research derived from the community-based partnership.
These course continuation funds are attached directly to the continued offering of the course and the related community-partnership project. Examples of past use of funds include stipends for student fellows; honoraria for community partners; travel funds; and conference participation fees. Faculty can apply for up to $2,000. We encourage Senate and non-Senate faculty to apply.
To complete application, please address the following in a one-page letter submitted to the American Cultures Engaged Scholarship (ACES) Program at aces@berkeley.edu:
