The Co-Production of Knowledge Initiative at the Center for Science and Society is accepting applications for projects led by community groups in collaboration with Columbia University affiliates. This Initiative intends to help overturn hierarchies of knowledge and extractive relationships through which communities may have been exploited for their local and experiential knowledge by researchers. By centering the needs of community organizations and placing Columbia affiliates in a supporting role, this grant program looks to redistribute power and resources to counteract historically unequal research dynamics.

Up to two awards are available in amounts up to $10,000. Funds will be directly awarded to the community partner organization, which will oversee the distribution and administration of the grant.

Deadline: October 27, 2025
