"Michigan has long been a leader in research-practice partnerships, and we are committed to using our data and the talents of our research partners to inform not only our work, but to build knowledge around key educational issues. The MERI partnership builds on nearly a decade of collaboration and leadership in this area and launches us into the next generation of this work."
