National Service and Civic Engagement Research Competition 94.026
94.026
To further achieve its mission, AmeriCorps has a strong belief in the importance of research in order to identify effective strategies for national service and increase the evidence-base for its programs. This means engaging the broader community of academic researchers involved in studying and evaluating national service, volunteerism, and civic infrastructure. The goal of this competition is to increase the nation’s understanding and knowledge about the importance and potential of volunteering, national and community service, and/or civic engagement in America. We are seeking applications that build on existing research in the field, address gaps in knowledge, and provide new ideas and methodological approaches to the study of national service.

Grantees continue to collect/analyze data and make presentations. Each grantee will submit a report for Year 2 and 5 of the 7 who received supplemental funding for a secondary research project will submit 2 papers. Grantees are presenting their preliminary findings in CNCS research webinars for internal staff and the public and will present at the Research Summit. A few are finalizing white papers that they are hoping to publish I journals.
All of our 2105 grantees finished their studies and are attempting to publish their work in peer reviewed journals and books. Thirteen 2017 grantees are wrapping up their analysis and are now writing up their findings. All of our 2018 grantees have successfully met their workplan objectives and moving into the second year.
The National Service and Civic Engagement Research Grant Program sponsors research about motivations for volunteering, who is volunteering, the different ways in which people engage in their communities, social and economic outcomes associated with civic engagement, and volunteer management best practices.
