ServCollab is pleased to announce new Research Grants that will be made possible through generous donations from ServCollab Donors.
With these Research Grants, ServCollab seeks to support and amplify innovative research that aligns with ServCollab’s mission, one of the seven ServCollab Service Research Themes, and that is invited for revision by a peer-reviewed journal.
ServCollab was founded on Transformative Service Research (TSR). More details are provided on the ServCollab website: https://www.servcollab.org.
Quarterly Research Grants
ServCollab will award one research grant of up to USD 5,000 every calendar quarter. Each grant will be awarded for a research project that seeks to serve humanity, aligns with ServCollab's mission, is based on one of ServCollab’s seven Service Research Themes (as shown above), and has been invited for revision by a peer-reviewed journal.
Eligible Applicants
To be eligible for the research grants, at least one member of the research team must be a member of the ServCollab Community. Membership in the ServCollab Community is free. Membership enables scholars who are interested in serving humanity to meet, to learn from each other, to strengthen their skills for conducting serving humanity research, and to support their professional growth opportunities. Two subgroups of the ServCollab Community have formed and are free to join: the PhD Student Community and the Early Career Community.
