AVP USA Research and Higher Education Committee

2019 and beyond Goals

For 2018 the committee was focused on seeking partnerships for funding with JPAL, the AVP book project, increasing involvement and supporting ongoing/continued research projects – and will continue those efforts along with the efforts listed below.

· To achieve evidence based recognition in the USA after completing some research projects within the next year.

· Identify active youth/school programs and determine if they are collecting data.

· Support AVP I efforts to collect data & promote the database (on AVP L, on the What do we do from here page/info T4F, provide links, etc).

· Will create a list of scales that have been used for AVP research purposes.

· Connect with other organizations in the field. Example- AVP has been attending the National Education Association Conference. The committee should recommend other conferences in these fields

· Provide local groups with research or expertise needed to conduct new workshops (specialty workshops, i.e. provide research on gender, trauma, forgiveness)

· Identify colleges/universities, foundations and institutes to work with.

· Increase sharing journal articles, news stories, etc.
