2020 Growing Democracy Grant winners
Institutions of higher education, particularly departments of political science, have deep knowledge of the structure, functions, and processes of democratic governance. However higher education institutions and faculty are often constrained in their ability to engage meaningfully with their local community.
The American Political Science Association seeks proposals from members for projects that will support community-based programming led by political scientists that aims to bridge the boundaries between academia and community and break down the barriers between residents and governing institutions.
Growing Democracy grants provide funding for collaborations between political scientists and their local communities aimed at supporting informed, engaged, and effective citizens. Proposed work should be community-centered and developed with an awareness of community needs and recognize the expertise held by both faculty and community members.
APSA welcomes participation from a diverse array of institutions—community colleges, liberal arts colleges, comprehensive and research universities—that aim to strengthen ties to their communities and advance civic engagement and political efficacy.
The Growing Democracy grant program was developed in partnership with Professors Ashley Nickels and Casey Boyd-Swan at Kent State University (learn more at: www.growingdemocracyOH.org). Growing Democracy grants are made by possible thanks to the support of the Ivywood Foundation, and the APSA Presidential Task Force on New Partnerships.
