社区成果与影响力奖

Purpose: The Community Outcomes and Impact Award recognizes excellence in service-learning and community engaged research that advances community outcomes and impacts. While all SLCE scholarship should contribute to community-based stakeholders, this award recognizes research that has had a significant impact on an organization or program, and/or measurably benefited a community. 

Eligibility: Any scholar (or team of scholars) with a distinguished body of high-impact contributions, indicating sustained field-building commitment and activity. “Scholar” as used here encompasses those who self-define as “researchers,” “scholars,” or “practitioner-scholars” and does not imply any particular academic status.

Evaluation Criteria

  1. Community impact. Research has had a measurable and sustained impact on an organization, program, or community, such as improvements to public policies and practices, program outcomes, organizational changes, and/or public engagement.

  2. Reciprocity and engagement. Research carried out in partnership with - and to address the needs and questions of - an organization, agency, or other community stakeholders. Scholarship guided by principles of reciprocity, mutual respect, shared authority, and co-creation.

  3. Rigor and quality. Methods of inquiry that are appropriate to the question/issue and context and meet the highest standards of academic rigor. 

  4. Generativity: Scholarship that deepens understanding of SLCE in specific places, spaces, and settings in ways that expand involvement, improve or inspire practice, generate opportunities for further inquiry, advance collaboration or co-creation in scholarly production, and/or generate new knowledge.

  5. Special consideration is given to research that measurably benefits communities experiencing marginalization and addresses the community’s self-identified needs through equitable partnership.
