As any parent knows, children and vegetables aren’t always a natural match. Research shows preschool-aged children are not meeting dietary recommendations, particularly when it comes to eating fruits and vegetables.

Do you manage research or administrative data? Do you collect data from schools, teachers and families? Do you export and analyze those data and need them to be connected? Are easily understandable visuals crucial to sharing information with your audience?
James Bovaird, MAP Academy co-director, led the first presentation of the Spring 2023 Methodology Applications Series March 3.
Video is now available of Bovaird’s virtual presentation, “Treatment Fidelity from a Measurement Perspective.”
Treatment fidelity is a multifaceted concept that can be very difficult to measure well.

Sexual assault remains a serious and growing problem at universities throughout the U.S. Studies show as many as one in four college women experience rape or attempted rape before graduation.
On top of its incalculable physical, mental and emotional cost to its victims — disproportionately, young women — sexual assault costs North Americans at least $265 million annually in health care and other expenses.
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.
