Research Commission

The Commissions serve an important role in the organization by supporting NACEP’s work by engaging expertise from the field for these volunteer leadership positions.

The Research Commission’s main function is to:

• Conducting, supporting, and sharing research on concurrent and dual enrollment
• Providing tools and guidance for programs in conducting program evaluations
• Curating resources (research, publications, summaries) on dual and concurrent enrollment research, policy, trends and best practices

Research Commission Activities:

• NACEP U (Formerly the Resource Center) – Support NACEP staff in curating a resource library with 125+ expert insights in dual enrollment
• Research Spotlights – Plain language summaries of peer-reviewed research shared in the monthly NACEP Oracle newsletter
• Research Roundup Webinars (Yee-haw!) – Commission members unpack and discuss recently published academic papers featured in the Research Spotlights
• Research Rendezvous – This interactive session is an "open office hour" design created for anyone who may have questions specific to dual enrollment research.

  Attendees range from researchers, graduate students, and the research curious who want to better understand research as a tool for program monitoring and improvement. We invite anyone with a curiosity of dual enrollment research to attend to elevate questions, discuss challenges, and share their work with others interested in and engaged in research. Get ready for a great discussion!
