Description¶

This strategy names specific supportive activities researchers took on in the NSF-funded Tough As Nails project beyond their research role. The slides list Quinn's example of "listening, coaching & affirming", Emi's example of "fundraising support", and other supports including "edtech procurement support", "building a lesson database", "supporting a TV show pilot", and sharing social capital. These are implementable activities a research team can adopt to support practitioner partners directly.
