This 2025 NNERPP Yearbook reflects the collective work, learning, and impact of the National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships (NNERPP) over the past year. As our annual end-of-year publication, it highlights the ways research-practice partnerships across the network collaborate to strengthen the relationship between education research, policy, and practice, and, ultimately, to improve educational experiences and outcomes for students and school communities.

Throughout these pages, NNERPP members share stories of tangible impact that demonstrate why RPP work continues to matter. These accounts showcase how partnerships translate research into action, respond to local needs, and co-create knowledge that supports more effective and equitable educational systems. Together, they offer both a window into the unique contributions of individual RPPs and a picture of our collective impact as a national learning community. As a network, we are able to learn, adapt, and do more together than any partnership could accomplish alone.

Housed at the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, NNERPP is a professional learning organization dedicated to developing, supporting, and connecting education RPPs. Since its launch in 2016, NNERPP has pursued this mission by sharing promising partnership strategies, fostering cross-partnership collaboration, amplifying RPP-generated knowledge, and advancing policies and systems that enable meaningful research-practice collaboration.
