NCRN December Webinar

A conversation with Holly Zanville, Founder/Lead, Learn & Work Ecosystem Library, and Wendy Sedlak, Strategy Director for Research and Evaluation, Lumina Foundation

What happens after your grant ends? Some initiatives fade; others take root and grow. As Connecting Credentials marks its 10th anniversary—and the Learn & Work Ecosystem Library approaches its 5th—join a conversation about how research, networks, and innovations can beget lasting change. Drawing on examples like Connecting Credentials, the Funders Mapping Initiative, and Learn & Work Ecosystem Library, they’ll explore:

· How research and networks can extend the life and influence of funded projects.

· Role of formative evaluation and milestone markers in maintaining momentum and guiding mid-course corrections.

· Growing importance of preserving institutional memory—through open-access archives, data-sharing, and responsible AI tools.

· Changing roles of researchers in an AI learn-and-work ecosystem.

Gain insights on sustaining impact and using both human and AI-powered approaches to extend the life—and influence—of your work.
