ICCE Resources for Faculty
The Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE) promotes and supports the professional growth of SF State faculty in teaching and research endeavors that address community needs and student learning through:
Community/University Partnerships: ICCE facilitates collaborative partnerships between faculty, students and the community for research, community-based learning, public forums, and other forms of civic engagement.
Grant seeking/project coordination: ICCE responds to community defined needs by identifying faculty teams with the expertise to conduct research, perform evaluations, and develop curriculum to address specific issues. The Institute, together with faculty and community partners, seeks external funding and coordinates research and intervention projects both large and small.
Community-based research Mini-grants: Community-based research is an inductive, collaborative process between academic researchers and community members that generates data, action, and social change through the use of multiple knowledge sources. ICCE supports the development of community-based research through seed grants that lead to the development of full grant proposals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) curriculum development grants: ICCE provides mini-grants to faculty to develop CSL opportunities through new and/or modified courses. We help faculty incorporate CSL pedagogy into their courses, identify appropriate placement sites, and connect interested community partners with relevant departments and faculty. CSL allows students to engage in real-world problem solving, and become part of the solution by incorporating their academic classroom study with hands-on service in an approved community organization. ICCE conducts workshops for faculty on CSL pedagogy and is available for in-class presentations to discuss the benefits of CSL to students.
Recognition Awards: ICCE provides many award opportunities that recognize faculty for stellar service. See our award page for more information about the Jefferson Award, CSL Award, Tom Ehrlich Award, and others.
Publication/presentation support: ICCE provides assistance in developing publishable reports and conference presentations of community-based scholarship.
Travel awards: When funding is available, ICCE provides travel awards to faculty presenting the results of community-based teaching and research.
Student Placement and Monitoring: ICCE is available to help faculty monitor students and manage potential risks at their service placement site. If a community-based organization is not in our database, or those listed do not match the type of hands-on experience that can meet course learning objectives, ICCE will identify appropriate placements for you.
Resource Materials and Assessment: ICCE maintains a small library of books, articles, model curriculum, syllabi, assessment, and other materials on civic engagement, community-based participatory research, and service learning.
