Overview: The Research-Practice Partnership Grants Program supports education research projects (how people learn via a specific intervention/mechanism) that engage in collaborative and participatory partnerships. We view partnerships as an important approach to knowledge generation and the improvement of education, broadly construed.

• Research Activities
• Research Infrastructure
