DID YOU KNOW...?
 
As the RPP field grows, questions around RPP effectiveness become increasingly important. With the many arrangements RPPs can take and the variety of goals partnerships may identify for themselves, it is not easy to arrive at a common way of assessing effectiveness, or even a shared definition of effectiveness.

Given these challenges, can we say anything about RPP effectiveness currently?
 
Yes! Leaders in the field recognize the importance of these questions and current efforts explore how to measure RPP effectiveness, how RPPs can support the use of research evidence in practice, and how to do this work well.




You can find a collection of useful resources around these issues right here, in the NNERPP RPP Knowledge Clearinghouse
