In the current funding cycle, RELs have created over 100 RPPs, and the bulk of REL’s work-upwards of 80 percent-is done through them.īack of the envelope calculations show that IES is currently spending over $40 million per year on REL RPPs. In the 2012-2017 REL funding cycle, 85 percent of the REL’s work had to go through “alliances”, which often coordinated several RPPs and themselves emphasized research to practice partnerships. In addition, the evaluation of state and local programs and policies competition has supported partnerships between researchers and state and local education agencies since 2009.īut the biggest investment in RPPs, by far, has been through the Regional Educational Laboratories. The Institute’s National Center for Education Research runs an RPP grant competition that has funded over 50 RPPs, with an investment of around $20 million over the last several years. Over the last few years, IES has made some large investments in RPPs. On paper, RPPs look like a way to bridge that divide. When it comes to research, academic researchers and practitioners often have different needs and different time frames. I was joined by well over 100 others who represented a wide swath of partnerships (RPPs), most supported by IES funds. I recently attended the annual meeting of the National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships.
