The National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships (NNERPP)

MEP is a member of the National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships. The mission of NNERPP is to develop, support, and connect partnerships between education agencies and research institutions—to improve the relationships between research, policy, and practice.

Launched in 2016 under the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University in Houston, Texas, NNERPP brings together experienced and emerging RPPs to share best practices, lessons learned, and ways to improve how education research is used in the public sphere. Nationwide, 29 RPPs are members of NNERPP. Beth Vaade, MEP Co-Director, served on the NNERPP Steering Committee from 2017-2019, and currently serves on the District Research Leader Subnetwork Leadership Team.
