Penn Community Scholars Program: The Intersection of Community, Academia, and Grantmaking – Apr 8
Posted by University of Pennsylvania on April 1, 2025
We are excited to announce our 10th annual symposium of the Penn Community Scholars Program, The Intersection of Community, Academia, and Grantmaking, on the morning of April 8, 2025.
After two semesters of preparation, the graduates of the Penn Community Scholars Program will present their innovative ideas to potential collaborators and funders.
The event will include networking opportunities, the pitch presentations, and a keynote presentation from Dr. Victoria Cargill, Senior Director, Public Health @ the Milken Institute.
An esteemed judge’s panel of funders and academics will choose who gets the “top pitch” awards.
Celebrating its tenth year, the Penn Community Scholars Program was developed to foster and promote community-academic partnerships and community-based participatory research. This 14-session training is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of community members to serve as equal partners in research. The Program features guest speakers from community-academic partnerships and other topic area experts in health care innovation, multi-sector collaboration, and more. In addition to learning the foundations of research, leaders from community organizations receive tools and resources to craft their “pitch” in a way that is attractive to funders and academic partners.
Join us for a morning of connection, collaboration, and celebration with some of the best community and academic leaders in Philadelphia.
Date and Time: April 8, 2025, 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Location:University City Science Center, 3675 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104
