METHODOLOGY

Meta-analysis, mixed methods, participatory action or participatory design-based research, qualitative methods, quantitative methods, single-case research design, or systematic review.

CURRENT KNOWLEDGE

1. Briefly describe current knowledge on the topic of interest (e.g., innovations, research to practice, state of the field, prior synthesis or primary studies on the topic, methodological or measurement practices).

2. Briefly describe how this research topic centers children with disabilities, families, and practitioners with their current network of support and care.

3. Be sure to include evidence citations in your description as in-text citations (i.e., no reference list needed).

RATIONALE FOR STUDY

1. Describe the purpose of the study or review, with attention to how this study/review addresses a gap in the research (e.g., extends what we know about a practice, innovation in methodology).

2. If applicable, describe the conceptual or theoretical grounding for your study.

3. If applicable, describe how the study or review works to broaden and innovate the theories, frameworks, and methods of your work, elevating the research of those who are subordinated by systemic racism and ableism, and promoting multi-disciplinary studies beyond your field.

RESEARCH INTENTIONS

1. List your research questions or hypothesis statements that guided your study or review.

2. Name the theory, framework, or perspective you used to guide this work (e.g., your theory of change or positionality) as it relates to this work.

PARTICIPANTS AND/OR SEARCH PROCEDURES

1. Write a detailed description of the participants (e.g., human subjects); and implementers for primary studies or search process (e.g., keywords, databases, inclusion/exclusion criteria) for reviews of the research.

2. Discuss how you engaged in equitable recruitment procedures. The descriptions should include the strengths of individuals as well as any areas in which they were supported in the research.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Describe the research design and methodology used for the study.

1. If a primary study, include the research design, measurement system, procedures (e.g., instructional procedures for intervention study, reliability, fidelity), and data analysis process. 

2. If a systematic review, report coding procedures (e.g., reliability) or thematic framework, variables or themes of interest, and assessment of rigor and quality and outcomes (as applicable). 

3. If data collection is not complete, write proposed plans for the aforementioned areas. 

4. Also, note to what extent were participants and/or meaningful partners involved in decisions related to the study (e.g., goals, modifications to procedures).

RESULTS AND DATA
Write a clear description of the results of the study (if data have not been collected, detail the collection timeline).

1. Describe how the data will be presented.

2. Describe how the results of the study will advance access to equitable and inclusive inform research and/or practice.

RELEVANCY AND OUTCOMES

1. Write a brief statement describing your targeted attendees and audience for your presentation (e.g., researchers, practitioners, families, EI/ECSE preparation).

2. Write a detailed description of how the content is immediately relevant for young children, families, practitioners, and/or professionals from a variety of backgrounds (e.g., considerations for culture, gender, language, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and diverse abilities).

3. Include ideas and goals and the means for achieving the content.
