An EPIC Event

Research with Consequence Forum Tackles Literacy

The Education Policy Innovation Collaborative (EPIC) hosted its first-ever Research with Consequence Forum on June 25, 2026, at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing. This year’s theme, “From Evidence to Impact in Literacy Policy,” brought together researchers, educators, and policymakers from across Michigan for a day of shared learning focused on the state’s efforts to ensure that every child reads.

EPIC plans to build on the momentum of this inaugural forum with continued convenings that reduce distance between research, practice, and policy and translate research into actionable policy insight across Michigan’s education landscape.
