The problems facing communities, regions, countries, and the globe are increasingly multifaceted and complex, challenging public research universities to expand and renew how they deliver on their missions for a new era. In response to these challenges, the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU) launched the Modernizing Scholarship for the Public Good initiative (https://www.aplu.org/our-work/2-fostering-research-innovation/modernizing-scholarship-for-the-public-good/), with a goal of spurring more publicly engaged and impactful research.
This initiative culminated in an extensive action framework (https://osf.io/preprints/osf/uekpb) that offers guidance to public research universities on ways that they can support scholars and advance publicly engaged and impactful research, with special attention to the ways that diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are integral to this work.
In 2021, Dr. Elyse Aurbach was named a Civic Science Fellow (https://civicsciencefellows.org/fellows/elyse-l-aurbach/), co-hosted by APLU and the University of Michigan's Office of the Vice President for Research, to lead this multi-institutional project. In this webinar, she will describe the framework and highlight institutional examples from universities that have successfully taken such action, focusing on strategic actions that institutions can take to encourage and enable more Highly Integrative Basic And Responsive (HIBAR; https://hibar-research.org/hibar-research/) projects.
