“If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.” – African Proverb
This quote isn’t new and the idea isn’t revolutionary. However, in the work that so many of us do, we often forge ahead on our individual paths alone. We believe that meaningful societal impact occurs when academics and policy leaders work together to apply their knowledge to the most pressing policy issues in their communities. Explore our training opportunities and funding initiatives designed to support both faculty and practitioners.
