Invited Symposium II: Funder-Social Work Scholar Panel Discussion on Federal and Private Funding for Anti-Racist Collaborative Research

Support for collaborative community research has grown over the last decade. New funding sources have supported social work scholars working with community partners to conduct research to address community identified issues through community-based participatory and community engaged research. This invited symposium is a conversation about the funders’ vision for supporting collaborative research, how their funding streams support their overall mission and goals, and what types of collaborative funding they provide. Researchers will discuss how this funding has furthered their research and engagement with community partners and their impact working collaboratively on community identified issues. The future of collaborative community research will also be discussed, including challenges and potential solutions to developing and sustaining collaborative research partnerships.
