GRYD RESEARCH & EVALUATION TEAM
The GRYD Research & Evaluation team, led by Denise C. Herz, Ph.D. and Molly Kraus, MPL, was created in 2015 as an external, university-based research team designed to bridge research and practice and inform GRYD programming as it continues to grow. The purpose of the GRYD Research & Evaluation Team is:
- to maintain the GRYD Database and provide training to support data collection efforts among GRYD providers, and
- to evaluate the effectiveness of GRYD programming and inform practices over time.
The Team is based at California State University, Los Angeles and is housed under the Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services—Wellness, Education, and Research Center and includes partners from Cal State LA, UCLA, USC, and Harder & Company Community Research. The GRYD Research & Evaluation Team has produced several evaluation reports and is currently disseminating its research findings through the GRYD Research Brief Series.
GRYD 2020 Research Brief Series The purpose of the GRYD 2020 Research Brief Series is to capture GRYD programmatic experiences and research findings in a way that is straight-forward and translatable to others working in this area.
