Vision
The Center for Promoting Research to Practice
intends to develop practical solutions to real problems
for those
individuals at-risk or who have disabilities. All too
often
research that is created for these individuals remains
at the development level and is not disseminated into
best practices. Using an interdisciplinary approach and
establishing
a living laboratory through partnerships with schools,
parent and families, and community service and support
providers, the Center aspires to distinguish itself as
a leader at state, regional, and national levels in addressing
the need for the production of research to reach the
users and consumers of research.
Mission
The mission of the Center for Promoting Research to Practice
(CPRP) is to generate new knowledge that will favorably
impact the lives of individuals with or at risk for disabilities
and promote the use of evidence-based best practices
by schools, families, and community service providers.
