In addition to traditional dissemination – presentations, papers, and other academic publications – the project offers this website to share the results, provide updates, and study-related information. The website allows the project team to document and disseminate the findings of the research and evaluation to help strengthen and improve practice, as well as improve the applied research outcome in practice. NCPERRC has been successful in disseminating project findings and outcomes through research briefs, online dissemination (website postings), as well as through national conference presentations and coordination with project partners and affiliates.
