Collaborations

KU's Reading, Language and Learning lab collaborates with other universities on research.

Research collaborations with other universities create opportunities to build on the strengths and resources of the individual researchers and their institutions.

Following are a few of our recent and ongoing collaborations.

The Reading, Language, and Learning Lab is currently collaborating with investigators at Arizona State University (Shelley Gray, Laida Restrepo, Marilyn Thompson) and Lancaster University (Kate Cain) in two Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)-funded projects examining reading comprehension in monolingual and bilingual upper elementary and adolescent students.
