Funding
The UW-Whitewater Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is instrumental in developing, implementing, and formalizing activities of UWW students, staff, and faculty with outside entities. They can help develop and negotiate grants and other funding opportunities, and have the authority to sign agreements for the University. In addition, they are always looking for community partners for their research and sponsored programs.

Journals often publishing community-engaged scholarship:
We encourage you to have an orientation session before you send students into the community as part of your course. The orientation should include things like:
- What to expect
- Safety off-campus
- Professionalism
- Communication with faculty and community partners
- Reflection as part of the experience
Our office can help you design the orientation and work with community partners to determine what information should be included.
Honors-CBL Exchanges: An Agreement between Community-Based Learning and the University Honors Program
Beginning in Fall 2019, students in good standing in the University Honors Program will receive Honors "credits" - officially called Honors-CBL Exchanges - for their participation in CBL designated courses. The following terms and conditions will apply:
- For their successful completion of a 3-credit CBL-designated course, which includes 15 hours of direct contact in addition to prep/training, project work, and reflection, Honors students will earn Honors-CBL Exchanges equivalent to 3 Honors credits.
- For CBL courses that are not 3-credit courses, the number of direct contact hours and other requirements will be commensurately adjusted.
- In order to graduate with University Honors, a student must maintain a minimum cumulative UW-W GPA of 3.4 and earn twenty-one (21) Honors credits.
- In accordance with the UHP residency requirements, a minimum of nine (9) Honors credits must be earned through Honors coursework and/or H-Options.
- Current Honors students in good standing may apply for Honors-CBL Exchanges to be retroactively honored.
- The UHP will oversee the recordkeeping of Honors-CBL Exchanges earned by students in both programs and report the exchanges to the Registrar's Office accordingly.
