Opportunity Information: Apply for CNCS 05 16 2017
The National Service and Civic Engagement Research Competition (Funding Opportunity Number CNCS-05-16-2017) is a discretionary research funding opportunity offered by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CFDA 94.026). The program is designed to support research that improves understanding of civic infrastructure and civic engagement, along with closely related concepts such as volunteering and national service. The central aim is to generate evidence that helps clarify how civic life functions, how it can be strengthened, and what effects civic participation can have on individuals and communities.
For the 2017 competition, the agency highlights three broad priority areas. The first priority focuses on the fundamentals of civic infrastructure and civic engagement: how these concepts are defined, how they are measured, how they develop over time, and what factors hinder or enable them. This can include work on conceptual frameworks, indicators and measurement tools, and analysis of institutional or community conditions that support participation. The second priority looks at civic engagement across the lifespan, emphasizing how individuals participation changes as people move through different life stages. Research under this priority might examine how civic habits form, what drives people to start or stop participating, and how transitions such as education, employment, family formation, or retirement shape engagement. The third priority centers on outcomes and impacts associated with civic engagement, volunteering, or national service, with an emphasis on identifying and understanding the effects that participation may have on participants, communities, or broader social conditions.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled colleges and universities as well as private institutions of higher education. The competition funds projects in two categories: dissertation awards and scholar awards, which signals support both for emerging researchers completing doctoral work and for more established investigators pursuing larger or more developed research efforts. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a more active role for the agency in supporting or overseeing the work compared with a standard grant.
Award sizes are expected to range from about $20,000 to $150,000, with a maximum award ceiling of $150,000. Projects may be supported for up to two years, allowing time for data collection, analysis, and dissemination of findings. The original application closing date for this opportunity was July 11, 2017, and the opportunity was created on May 16, 2017.Apply for CNCS 05 16 2017
