Forty-eight proposals were received by the Office of Public Service and Urban Affairs, which founded the program to provide UB faculty with opportunities to engage in projects that consider the role of public service in the university; integrate scholarship with the university's public service mission; and/or enhance faculty awareness of the ways in which public service can enrich teaching and scholarship.
"We were very much encouraged by the number, diversity and quality of grant proposals from faculty," said John B. Sheffer II, interim vice president for Public Service and Urban Affairs. "This effort has moved forward the service mission of the university in very practical and valuable ways."
