The editors would like to thank the individuals at the universities, professional associations, think tanks, and federal agencies who distributed the calls for paper abstracts as the first step in identifying research papers to commission for this compendium. We also wish to acknowledge the helpful guidance of the Expert Panel members who reviewed numerous abstracts and recommended papers to invite.
Many individuals reviewed the papers for this research volume and we would like to thank our colleagues at RTI International who reviewed papers in their areas of expertise. In addition, staff members at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, and at the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, reviewed the papers and provided helpful feedback.
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the contribution of the RTI editorial and production staff, including Justin Faerber and Valerie Garner.
