National Network of Education Research - Practice Partnerships |

A PROGRAM OF THE KINDER INSTITUTE FOR URBAN RESEARCH at RICE UNIVERSITY

RESEARCH-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIPS, long-term mutually beneficial

formalized collaborations between education researchers and practitioners,

are a promising strategy for producing more relevant research,

improving the use of research evidence in decision making,

and engaging both researchers and practitioners to tackle problems of practice.

Although promising, research-practice partnerships are challenging to create and difficult to maintain.

NNERPP aims to develop, support, and connect research-practice partnerships in education to improve their productivity.

A quarterly magazine with visual support via this website, NNERPP | Extra aims to share deep and reflective articles around pressing issues in education tackled by research-practice partnerships across the country, the impacts on policy and use in practice of such research, and high-priority questions about conducting effective RPP work.
