The Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) Grants Program is intended to support education research projects that engage in collaborative and participatory partnerships with project budgets up to $400,000 and durations of up to three years. Details about the program and application process can be found below.

Created by Spencer, the “Research-Practice Partnerships Writing Guide” is available for interested researchers. This writing guide includes information on the features of the program, details about what reviewers look for in proposals, and tips for common missteps to avoid. Various details discussed in the request for proposals document are elaborated on in this writing guide.

Additionally, Spencer also created “A Guide to Writing Proposals that Engage Research with Youth, Families, and Community-Based Organizations,” which offers grounding ideas and suggestions for centering a strengths-based approach when working in partnership with communities.
