The goal of this work is to build capacity in the allied youth fields by 1) identifying opportunities to link and leverage existing research initiatives; 2) brokering partnerships across research, policy, and practice, and 3) responding to requests received from the research, policy, and practice communities to provide input on various initiatives, decisions, studies, and projects. The proposed work involves a range of activities that cluster into three general strategies: research and development, technical assistance, and communications.
To deepen and forge communications between and across research, policy, practice, and media within the allied youth fields.
