The Creating Whole Communities Research Fellows program offers two types of grants to support UMSL faculty and doctoral students partnering with community to address important place-based challenges through rigorous issue- and practice-based research.

  1. Relationship Building Grant
    This grant initiative seeks to support University-community partnerships in the exploration process of mutual interests and shared goals with the aim that this will lead to a trustworthy partnership, long-term collaboration, and achievement of community-desired goals. A partnership with local organizations and/or leaders is a required component of this grant application. Up to $1,000 will be awarded to partnerships. Apply Now. 
  2. Research and Implementation Grant
    This grant initiative seeks to support faculty research that implements a philosophy of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and address issues that are critical to local neighborhoods and municipalities. Faculty must demonstrate partnership with local organizations and/or leaders as a component of this grant application. Up to $8,000 will be awarded to partnerships. Apply Now.
