This paper reports the results of the faculty development program of the Faculty for Engaged Campus Initiative of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH). The authors provide background on the objectives of the Initiative and outline various components of their Community-Engaged Scholarship Faculty Development charrette: selection process, self-assessment tools, curriculum, and strategies for faculty development, and development of team action plans. The evaluation findings are then examined, suggesting that “external funding, ongoing support beyond a one-time charrette, and a set of standard curricular tools can help institutions implement community-engaged scholarship faculty development programs on their campuses” (Gelmon et al, 2012, p. 21).
