The group also will work to boost the influence of the foundation’s proposals and apply well-founded research to all of the foundation’s upcoming programs.
Swearer, professor of school psychology in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Education and Human Sciences, will become chairperson of the six-member Research and Advisory Board. The board will include researchers from New York University, Harvard University and the University of Chicago, among other schools.
