Four Oregon State University researchers have proposed a new model for addressing community needs and advancing research.

Shannon Lipscomb, Barbara Bromley Brody, Megan Pratt and Toiresa Frazie published "The Tri-Learner Model of Extension Collaboration." The model brings together faculty from academic research, statewide Extension and community-based Extension.

The Hallie E. Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families funded the project through an internal grant.
