Programs & Projects
The Institute is a catalyst for advancing a comprehensive national literacy agenda.
LINCS Regional Resource Centers
The National Institute for Literacy funds three LINCS Regional Resource Centers (RRCs). The purpose of the LINCS Regional Resource Centers (Centers) is to disseminate high-quality resources using various approaches (highlighting online materials, in-person technical assistance, distance learning, and discussion lists) through partnerships with adult education and related organizations to help practitioners use evidence-based instructional practices that improve outcomes in adult learners' literacy skills. The Centers organize training and workshops based on Institute-developed materials, as well as provide assistance in using online instructional resources provided through LINCS.
The Institute is proud to offer outstanding professional development opportunities throughout the nation. These professional development offerings are provided free of charge through the Institute's LINCS Regional Resource Centers (RRCs).
The Institute, through its LINCS Regional Resource Centers, convened three regional Health Literacy Summits in February and March 2008 to share information about the research on health literacy and resources for implementing health literacy programming.
