Early childhood research across the University of Nebraska system was the focus of the Spring NAECR Networking event May 5.
Attendees of the virtual event enjoyed presentations by Tiffany Moore, associate professor in the College of Nursing and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Julia Torquati, professor of child, youth and family studies at UNL. Afterward, attendees connected with colleagues and discussed research and collaboration opportunities.
How can researchers best communicate their work to different audiences, including practitioners and policymakers?
The Spring 2023 NAECR Knowledge event April 7 focused on ways to effectively share research findings across various sectors, and discussed ways to develop impactful, informative research briefs to highlight their work.
Research collaborations and partnerships are essential for early childhood researchers.
During a Dec. 5 NAECR Networking event, Jocelyn Bosley, UNL research impact coordinator, shared her strategies for coordinating research impacts, including the facilitation of research partnerships.
Establishing and sustaining productive research partnerships is critical for early childhood researchers, but these can sometimes be difficult to create.
A panel of University of Nebraska early childhood researchers and community partners from across Nebraska led a virtual discussion Nov. 17 about the importance of creating and maintaining research partnerships in the first NAECR Knowledge event of the fall.
The Nebraska Academy for Early Childhood Research has selected six faculty members to serve as Policy Fellows for the 2022-23 academic year.
The NAECR Policy Fellows Program is designed to educate early childhood researchers on policy processes, impacts and relationships to research; to provide policymakers with insight into the latest early childhood research at the University of Nebraska; and to generate collaboration among researchers and policymakers to develop effective research agendas that enrich early childhood experiences.
Creating connections among early childhood research, practice and policy — and how each can enhance the lives of young children and their families — provided the central theme of the 2022 CYFS Summit on Research in Early Childhood.
Nearly 200 attendees, including researchers from across the University of Nebraska system, practitioners, administrators, community partners and policymakers, gathered April 13 at Nebraska Innovation Campus for the daylong, sixth biennial summit, which highlighted the latest research to advance early childhood education and development, and implications for practice and policy.
The usefulness of Microsoft Teams, the main collaborative tool in the Microsoft Office 365 suite, was the topic of the Feb. 10 NAECR Knowledge event.
About two-dozen early childhood researchers attended the virtual discussion to explore the most efficient, effective ways to use Teams, a collaboration app that helps groups stay organized and have conversations from any device. The tool enables users to launch instant conversations, make phone calls, host meetings and share files.
Registration is open for the sixth biennial CYFS Summit on Research in Early Childhood, April 13 at the Nebraska Innovation Campus Conference Center.
Early registration is encouraged due to limited seating. If space is available, registration will remain open through Tuesday, March 15.
