SUBNETWORKS CORNER

Welcome to the expanded Subnetworks Corner, where our subnetworks share periodic highlights of what they are pondering, reading, and working on together!

University Brokers Subnetwork

The University Brokers Subnetwork is currently thinking about ways to better understand the important role university brokers play and the contexts in which they are situated. The group is hoping to eventually build tools and resources to support individuals serving in this capacity.

As a starting point, the subnetwork is interested in learning from university brokers (university-level faculty or staff engaging in brokering activities in RPPs or other collaborative education research partnerships) about their efforts. If this role describes you, the subnetwork would love to hear from you! You can access the survey here (you do not have to be a NNERPP member or a subnetwork member to participate): tinyurl.com/universitybrokers (Please note that you may have already received an email invitation to participate in the survey.) Excited to learn together about this critical role!

Upcoming subnetwork meetings

September 30, 2024: California RPPs
October 18, 2024: Brokers
October 21, 2024: District Research Leaders
October 24, 2024: Youth Voice

EVENTS

ANNUAL FORUM REMIX SERIES
NNERPP members & Forum attendees

When: Monday, September 30, at 3 pm ET / 2 pm CT / 12 pm PT

We invite you to join us for the “Annual Forum Remix” series, an opportunity for NNERPP members to re-visit with session content or to experience some of the Forum sessions for the first time. In the first installment, members of the North Carolina Recovery Research Network will share how the partnership is developing actionable recommendations for policymakers and practice-side partners. The team will introduce a Research Brief Template for distilling complex research studies into a two-page summary of actionable recommendations and share more about how their RPP has used it. Attendees of this session should be prepared to discuss the top 2-3 findings of a recently published study that could be transformed into policy recommendations. We hope you join us!

NNERPP aims to develop and support RPPs in education in order to improve the connection between research, policy, and practice.

NNERPP is made possible by the generous funding support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, William T. Grant Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Wallace Foundation.
