The Institute for Nonprofit Research, Education and Engagement (INPREE)
Our mission is to enhance the capacity and leadership of nonprofit organizations through research, education and engagement.
We connect NC State University with the nonprofit community, leveraging the expertise and dedication of faculty, students, staff and community partners to build nonprofit capacity and develop nonprofit leaders. We serve as a center of expertise, generator of knowledge, and host of a collaborative and diverse community of scholars.
New Initiatives
New University-wide Faculty Development Program Launched
Education and Discovery Grounded in Engaged Scholarship
The Institute for Nonprofit Research, Education and Engagement is leading a new nationally-recognized, campus-wide, multigenerational faculty development program aimed at building capacity for community-engaged scholarship. EDGES is a developmentally-structured, competency-based approach to supporting faculty in the design and implementation of community-engaged scholarship projects during key transition points (or “edges”) in their career paths. The projects will involve students at key transition points in their undergraduate/graduate careers and be developed with community partners.
Institute forges partnership with ASAE
The Institute for Nonprofit Research, Education and Engagement has formed a new partnership with the American Society of Association Executives & The Center for Association Leadership to serve as an international administrator and clearinghouse for the ASAE's interdisiplinary datasets.
The datasets are compiled from years of research that the ASAE has conducted on nonprofit membership associations. Scholars and nonprofit leaders from around the world will be able to access these datasets and the research findings through the Institute and use them in their research or to improve their own organizations.
The Institute will roll out this initiative through a new web portal in January.
