The community-based learning course development grant supports the development of new community-based learning courses or the addition of a community-based component. Up to $4,500 per course is available for new community-based learning courses or current courses that add a community-based learning component. This grant can only be awarded once per course or course section.

The community-based research grant provides up to $5,000 to a faculty member, staff member, or graduate student to design and implement a new community-based research (CBR) project, add a CBR component to an existing project, or, in limited circumstances, continue an ongoing CBR project.

The Wisconsin Partnership Program advances its mission through a strong portfolio of grant programs that support research initiatives, education and training, and community partnerships to improve health and advance health equity.

Each HEX project is a student-initiated partnership with a community organization that addresses an existing need in the Madison community and draws upon students’ research, interests, and expertise. The HEX program has two tracks: HEX (for graduate students) and HEX-U (for undergraduate students).

The Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment grant program is open to UW–Madison faculty, staff and students and is designed to foster public engagement and advance the Wisconsin Idea. The competitive grant program accepts proposals on an annual basis and is administered by the Office of the Provost.
