The newly-formed St. Louis Confluence Collaborative for Community-Engaged Research, Teaching, and Practice announces the third annual William H. Danforth St. Louis Confluence Award. The Collaborative serves as the organizing platform for community-engaged research, teaching, and practice across WashU, focused on St. Louis needs and intentional, sustainable partnerships.
The William H. Danforth St. Louis Confluence Award is designed to elevate WashU’s investment in the St. Louis Region by encouraging and rewarding community-engaged research through academic-community member teams that enhances our impact in St. Louis. The Confluence Award honors and recognizes faculty members for ongoing and completed research that focuses on interdisciplinary community-engaged research that exemplifies impact, innovation, and deep engagement with the region.
A $50,000 cash prize is given in recognition of community-engaged research initiatives. The awardee, along with the community partner, will have the opportunity to present their research, receive award, and celebrate among their colleagues and community.
The application opens October 4, 2024 to all WashU faculty. The work must be ongoing or recent. The application due date is November 22, 2024.
Additional awards for academic-community teams will be offered. Please limit your application to one research project per application. If you have multiple research projects, we welcome multiple submissions.
