Engaged Curriculum Grants

Please note that Chrome and Safari are the recommended browsers for completing this application.

For community-engaged learning to be central to Cornell, it must be a core part of curricula across the university, in majors, minors, concentrations and programs. To this end, Engaged Curriculum Grants create, expand and strengthen research and teaching fields by funding teams that are integrating community-engaged learning into curriculum exploration, development and improvement.

The goal of this grant program is the creation of majors and minors that offer coherent, developmentally staged pathways of community-engaged learning experiences.

Engaged Curriculum Grants are intended to support:
Modification of existing courses and curricula to add, deepen or better integrate community-engaged learning and teaching in any field of study
Development of new courses (including CEL preparation and capstone courses) and curricula designed to benefit undergraduate students and community partners; core graduate-level courses that allow for undergraduate participation will be considered
Teams of Cornell faculty and their community partners experimenting with how to embed in their courses and curricula the public purpose of the discipline or field
High-quality CEL courses embedded in majors and minors, and the development of CEL majors and minors themselves, that are sustainable beyond the period of the grant
Planning Grants are intended to support collaborations that:
explore a new community partnership that would serve as the basis for a course or curriculum (major, minor, concentration or course sequence);
explore a new community-engaged learning course or curriculum concept that would develop from an existing partnership;
build relationships, knowledge and mutually beneficial plans that lay the groundwork for community-engaged learning curricula.
