Health Equity Focused, Community Engaged
Faculty Fellowship Program
With the goal of promoting community-engaged inquiry, scholarship, and service, CCHE and DePaul’s Steans Center hope to engage community partners to identify, understand, and respond to public health needs. Launched in 2021, this program awards one faculty fellowship to a DePaul faculty member who has been developing health-focused and community-engaged scholarship. The faculty fellow is supported by The Faculty Scholarship Collaborative (FSC), and receives a stipend and a funded research assistant for three academic quarters. Community partners also receive a $1,000 stipend as a collaborator in the research process. Details for the 2023-24 Fellowship application will be posted soon.
Congratulations to our Fellows!
