Welcome to the RTN Website!
The Research and Training Network is a collaborative network of California university and Human Services Agency representatives who have come together to promote vibrant agency/university partnerships with the purpose of establishing a comprehensive strategy for practice-oriented research in the Human Services field. The network operates under the auspices of the Research &Development Committee of the CalSWEC Board of Directors.
- It provides an opportunity for our Partners to share their work with one another so that practice-oriented research throughout California is to the greatest extent possible both collaborative and coordinated.
- It provides access to the statewide and regional research agendas that have been developed to guide practice-oriented research in Human Services throughout California. In addition both literature reviews and the research that has been undertaken by our Partners are available on this site, sorted by both Region and Topic Area.
- It also provides information about the regular Leadership Symposia on Evidence-Based Practice that the RTN sponsors in order to help promote and disseminate practice-oriented Human Services research in California.
- It promotes the sharing of resources and other research related materials and is intended to be a source of information for users. The RTN posts information on its website to contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the areas of Children & Families, Aging & Adults, and Self-Sufficiency.
The contents of this website are continually updated to include information about the latest developments in California's approach to practice-oriented research.
Materials are submitted by the original authors when possible. The RTN provides minor editing and formatting of materials posted on this website. It does not endorse specific authors and does not endorse the content contained in the materials.
This website is organized and categorized by the following three program areas:
1) Children & Families, 2) Aging & Adults, and 3) Self-Sufficiency.
Information is sorted by each program area.
You will find literature reviews, research and evaluation reports, faculty and staff members, and a list of partners within each area.
