Join us for a Community Engagement Workshop on Thursday, March 5th from 3:45–5:00 PM in Girvetz 2320. This session offers a practical and strategic introduction to grant-seeking, development, and management for researchers engaged in community-engaged research. Designed for faculty, graduate students, and research administrators, the workshop covers the full lifecycle of externally funded projects — from identifying funding opportunities and developing competitive proposals to managing grants and sustaining long-term community partnerships. Led by Gaye Theresa Johnson (Director, Blum Center, UCSB Black Studies) and Melissa Bator (Associate Director, Strategic Research Initiatives, UCSB Office of Research), the session draws on real-world examples and interactive discussions to help participants build durable research infrastructures and translate scholarly work into meaningful social impact.
