TEN Virtual Learning Session: Strategic Allocation of Resources to Support Community-Engaged Scholarship – Nov 20

Posted by Pew Charitable Trusts on November 18, 2025

Please join us for the next TEN (Transforming Evidence Network) learning session on November 20^th from 12:00-1:00 PM.

In times of scarcity, how resources are allocated for community-university engagement matters enormously. Choices must be made as to who and what gets funded and how much.

In this session, Jennifer Renick from Michigan State University, Emily Janke from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Emily Ozer from the University of California, Berkeley will discuss findings from their research on how to effectively allocate resources for community-engaged scholarship. Their presentation will illustrate the breadth of structures, systems, and investments required to establish and maintain robust infrastructure for community-university engagement.

They will also share a new decision-making tool that can support institutional leaders and funders to strategically plan for resource allocation and connect opportunities for investment. This tool can help decision makers make choices about how to invest their limited resources in areas such as infrastructure, programming, near-term activities, and long-term relationships and outcomes.

A copy of the full peer-reviewed manuscript is freely available from Innovative Higher Education: More than Just Money: Strategic Allocation of Resources to Support Community-Engaged Scholarship by Jennifer Renick, Andrew Furco, Emily Janke, and Emily Ozer.

The Resource Allocation Tool was developed as an outgrowth of the TEFN-funded Scan of Promising Efforts to Broaden Faculty Reward Systems to Support Societally Impactful Research (download available).
