Watch the highlights | | | The Role of Strong Cross-Sectoral Partnerships in Successful HIBAR Projects | The HIBAR Research Alliance aims to collect and share current good practices in forming, implementing, and sustaining the deep cross-sectoral partnerships with external organizations that are needed for HIBAR research projects to be successful. Our 2022 Annual General Meeting discussion brought together interested individuals from HRA Member and Affiliate institutions to share their knowledge and experience. Keynote speaker Dr. David Hart, Director of the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions at the University of Maine, launched the discussion about sharing strategies for enabling universities to better partner with non-academic practitioners working to address specific societal challenges.

Awards are one such means, and one of our HRA member campuses, UCLA, recently established a new award program to recognize faculty whose research or other creative work has had a significant beneficial public impact, where such benefit has been achieved in part through the efforts of those same faculty to bring their research or creative activity into the public arena. In its inaugural year, six UCLA professors received this Public Impact Research Award. | .jpeg)
