Research Connections The purpose of Child Care and Early Education Research Connections is to promote high quality research and to help inform policy. One of the primary ways we accomplish that goal is through an interactive and easily searchable website of over 18,000 resources on early care and education, including original scholarly research, government reports, fact sheets and briefs, datasets and instruments. Additionally, Research Connections produces its own publications that synthesize research on key topics, and organizes various webinars on new research geared towards policymakers and others in the early education field. The project is operated through a partnership between the National Center for Children in Poverty, at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, at the University of Michigan. Objectives include: (1) ensure the long-term sustainability of Research Connections through new technology and standards-based architecture; (2) ensure a constantly evolving, complete and up-to-date collection, responsive to the needs of the early care and education community; (3) maintain and grow the archive of datasets, as well as the community of analysts who use them, (4)maximize usefulness of the site and respond to the community's varied needs for information, and (5) expand collaborative activities to bring in new stakeholders and partners at the local, regional and national level. |
