NNERPP YEARBOOK
We are so excited to share the 2024 NNERPP Yearbook with you! The NNERPP Yearbook celebrates our members’ amazing RPP work and the NNERPP community’s shared collaborative activities over this calendar year. 
 
At the heart of the Yearbook are the stories of RPP impact shared by the research-practice partnerships in NNERPP, guided by the question: What has changed as a result of the RPP this year (2024)? The impact stories shared by our members this year are as diverse as the partnerships themselves and a powerful demonstration of what RPP work can look like in many different contexts and at various points in a partnership's journey. We are immensely thankful to all our members who joined us this year in bringing together the details of the NNERPP Yearbook.
 
The Yearbook also offers a reflective look at what we have done together as a community over the past year and shares more about who we are, providing insights into the kinds of things we can do and learn together as a network!
 
We invite you to explore the 2024 NNERPP Yearbook here and share it with anyone in your networks interested in learning more about what RPP work can look like! We hope you enjoy reading our community’s stories and highlights for this year. With such an awesome collection of experiences, we can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for us!

Happy reading and happy holidays from NNERPP!
