For Practitioners
We believe in the power of research-practice partnerships to develop solutions for intractable problems. Change occurs when practitioners closest to the real-world problems partner with academics to apply their knowledge to the most pressing policy issues in communities—bridging the gap between knowledge and practice. We are here to support you develop community-engaged research projects with the goal of using research evidence to change a policy or practice and connect you with Northeastern faculty that bring a rigorous data and analysis skillset.
