(<a href="https://campbellcollaboration.org/the-robert-boruch-award.html">https://campbellcollaboration.org/the-robert-boruch-award.html</a>). She was chosen for the award by the Campbell Technical Advisory Committee because of my leading and influential research
in the area of substance abuse prevention, which has broadened knowledge in this critical behavioral health area, as well as influenced public policy beyond academic boundaries. The award was presented to her this morning at the What Works Global Summit conference

capacity created by the UO’s COVID-19 Monitoring and Assessment Program. Leslie says “This grant will enable us to implement a critical community outreach and testing program to increase the reach, access and uptake of testing in communities with an urgent
need.” College of Education professors Stephanie DeAnda, Anne Mauricio, Elizabeth Budd and Ellen McWhirter are also lending their expertise in bicultural and bilingual community outreach and implementation science to help the team design outreach and intervention
strategies that are responsive to Latinx community needs and preferences. Read more about their work featured in last weeks Around the O Article

</b>Recently we sent an email to your mailbox that included several faculty stories. Entitled, “Research Driving Change” this piece was sent to the Deans of the top 270 Colleges of Education in the country and to 25 superintendents in Oregon. This email received
a 37% open rate from the Deans and 37% open rate to the Superintendents. For context, open rates above 30% are considered top-tier and average open rates hover between 10-15%. Evidently, there is considerable interest in the work our faculty do. Thank you

or terminate a given program, they often have limited ability to reveal the mechanisms by which complex interventions achieve their effects. To illuminate these mechanisms, this paper analyzes novel text data from thousands of school improvement planning and
implementation reports from Washington State, deploying computer-assisted techniques to extract measures of school improvement processes. Our analysis identified 15 coherent reform strategies that varied greatly across schools and over time. The prevalence
of identified reform strategies was largely consistent with school leaders’ own perceptions of reform priorities via interviews.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#172B4D">
