The Institutional Challenge Grant: Community-Engaged Research to Improve Youth Educational Outcomes

Thu, April 24, 5:25 to 6:55pm MDT (5:25 to 6:55pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 304

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium features four recipients of the Institutional Challenge Grant from the William T. Grant Foundation. The grant has four goals for grantees: 1) strengthen an existing research practice-partnership with a non-profit organization or public agency, 2) pursue a joint research agenda to reduce inequalities in youth outcomes, 3) enhance the capacity of both partners to produce and use research evidence, and 4) create institutional change at the university to value engaged research. This moderated panel will highlight how partnerships working across K-12 and post-secondary educational contexts navigate challenges to conduct actionable research and create conditions more favorable for evidence use and for rewarding research that makes a difference.
