The National Service department is offering this grant to advance research into civic infrastructure and civic engagement. This competition, open exclusively to institutions of higher education, aims to fund studies on how civic infrastructure and engagement are defined, measured, developed, and hindered. Furthermore, it seeks insights into how individual civic engagement evolves over a lifetime and the broad impacts associated with civic engagement, volunteering, or national service. Projects are supported across two categories—dissertation and scholars—with awards ranging from $20,000 to $150,000 for up to two years.
