Policy & Outreach

The Policy & Outreach Pillar advises government, educational agencies, and community stakeholders to translate research into scalable education programs and best clinical practices. It evaluates policy impact, engages stakeholders to address literacy needs, and educates policymakers on community needs and literacy research findings.
