VISION
The Center for Promoting Research to Practice intends to develop practical solutions to real problems for 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, parents 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
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.
