University – Community Partnerships
Scholarship in Action
Research and Programs Enhancing the Quality of Life in Los Angeles
The Center for Community Partnerships (CCP) is committed to connecting our faculty, staff, and students with the communities beyond our campus through the exchange of ideas and resources. For the past six years, the Center has provided on a competitive basis support for partnerships between UCLA faculty and/or professional staff, and non-profit organizations in the Los Angeles area. While in 2009 we will not be issuing a call for proposals, we will provide regular updates on our website regarding future funding opportunities.
