NW-NALRC Community Project Planning and Development Workshops
April 1–30
3:30–4:30 p.m.

The Northwest Native American Language Resource Center's Community Project Planning and Development (CPPD) workshops are designed to help guide you through the process of creating a community-based project: from coming up with the idea, to building a solid organizational and logistical foundation, and all of the other necessary steps to get your project proposal completed. Overall, there are 15 CPPD workshops in this series

Each workshop also has an associated next-day drop-in assistance hour. This workshop series is meant to take participants with little to no experience in community project planning and development and help them complete their first project proposal. While we are focused on assisting with project planning and development of Alaskan Native/Native American Language projects, much of the content that you will be learning in these workshops is readily transferrable to other types of projects.

Registrants will have access to all workshops in this April offering. Attendance at all workshops in the offering is recommended but not required. 

All instruction is provided online and instructors will join online. Participants will join remotely via zoom (please see technology section below.)

Workshops in this Offering

The CPPD workshops are offered in smaller, five workshop offerings. The first five workshops were offered in November and December of 2025. The workshops that are available in the April offering are: 

Workshop 6: Identifying Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Supports facilitation of community discussions to identify vision-aligned, long-term goals that drive project outcomes.
  • Date: 4/1
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/2

Workshop 7: Defining Barriers to Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Identifies internal and external barriers, explores strategies to surface challenges, and begin problem-solving approaches.
  • Date: 4/8
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/9

Workshop 8: Creating Project Goals & Objectives 

  • Topic: Translates community vision into specific, measurable project goals and objectives using clear, structured frameworks.
  • Date: 4/15
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/16 

Workshop 9: Outcomes, Outputs, & Activities 

  • Topic: Distinguishes outcomes, outputs, and activities, aligns them within a project framework/logic model.
  • Date: 4/22
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/23

Workshop 10: Building a Project Work Plan

  • Topic: Hands-on strategies to create a work plan with timelines, milestones, responsibilities, and deliverables.
  • Date: 4/29
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/30

Technology

The CPPD workshops will be held via Zoom and will use Canvas, a course management system, for materials and activities. Participants must have an email address. It will be best to join on a computer that has a stable internet connection, a webcam, and headphones (depending on your work environment). Using a computer rather than a mobile device will improve your experience - you will be able to better  interact with others, participate in hands-on activities, and see presented materials.

Faculty Workshop: "Not Just for Scientists: Integrating Undergrads into Faculty Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences"
April 10
1:00–2:00 p.m.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, Center for Undergraduate Research and Engagement, and the Latinx Studies Program Present: "Not Just for Scientists: Integrating Undergrads into Faculty Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences."

Remote workshop for faculty. Zoom link available on the Latinx Studies website.

UO undergrads have many ways to receive university funding while working with you on a research project; this can bring you assistance with meaningful research tasks along with the joy of mentoring. But in the humanities and qualitative social sciences, many of us never had models to learn how to build a team in this way. In this 60-minute workshop, you’ll hear from scholars who do qualitative and interpretive work about how they have integrated undergraduates into their research process. We’ll leave time for small-group facilitated discussions to brainstorm possibilities for you to do the same.
