RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – RTI International has landed a $4 million federal grant to “support the Build Back Better Regional Challenge.”
“In its role, RTI will partner with the [Ohio-based] State Science and Technology Institute to coordinate and lead a Community of Practice (CoP) that will build long-term connections between the challenge’s 60 finalist coalitions,” RTI, an international nonprofit research organization, said in Thursday’s announcement.
“Communities of practice can be highly effective vehicles that spur innovation and accelerate impacts because they create the context for shared learning and collaborative action toward common objectives,” said RTI president and CEO Tim J. Gabel. “We look forward to supporting the Build Back Better Regional Challenge coalitions in leveraging the power of a greater network to advance the growth of their regions.”
Tasks include: organizing quarterly workshops, producing policy briefs, coordinating cross-coalition site visits and learning exchanges, and preserving and disseminating knowledge created through the CoP.
