Collective Impact Cohorts will bring together community and university voices to develop and implement collaborative work to create measurable change to improve daily living. Four cohorts will be established, with each focusing on one issue that is central to daily living:
- Crime and Safety
- Migration
- Environmental sustainability in an urban environment
- Housing and food insecurity
We seek applicants to participate and/or lead in one of these four issue areas. Each Cohort will be charged with developing a proposal for specific actions as part of the collective impact process. Community-engaged scholarship will be at the core of this approach to advance discovery goals while also affecting change in the grand challenge issue areas at the community level. Each Cohort will be able to request up to $100,000 to support their proposed actions.
Cohorts will be comprised of community members, faculty, staff, and students. Community members may be from government, non-government, and/or private sector agencies. We anticipate Cohort sizes will be approximately 12-14 people. Each group will have two DU Faculty Leads and, as detailed below, a Facilitator trained in collective impact processes and approaches. Learn more and apply by October 11th!
