Our new edition

Welcome to our special summer edition

Welcome to a special edition of NNERPP Extra! In this issue, we celebrate 10 years of NNERPP, exploring what we have learned about RPPs from when NNERPP was first founded in 2016 to now. We hope you join us on this journey through time (and a look ahead)! First, we share reflections from long-time RPPers on shifts over the past decade in the RPP field and thoughts on what might come next, then, we share ten lessons we’ve learned through NNERPP over ten years of supporting RPPs, and finally, we introduce a new framework designed to help sustain RPPs into the future.

As always, a special thank you goes to our wonderful guest authors who contributed to this issue. Happy reading, and happy ten years of NNERPP!
