During the 2023 summer research session, NealyClare examined the feasibility of and designed a program for a partnership between the City of Meadville and Allegheny College in which students would be trained in grant research, grant-writing, and data collection so they could volunteer their services to benefit local nonprofits. Under the direction of Professor Andy Bloeser, she conducted interviews with nonprofits throughout Meadville in which she discussed their current needs and future goals/plans so that she could build the program around the community. After the interviews, she compiled her data and analyzed it looking for general trends and similarities in responses so she could target the program to their needs.
