partnerships [e.g., 48]. These research results contribute tothe development of REDCON activities and information-sharing. Teams are at various places intheir project, represented by both year of award and success of the efforts, and their needs andchallenges vary. REDPAR broadly shares research results and research-informed strategies to thebenefit of all REDCON members.Acknowledgements - This material is based upon work supported the United States NationalScience Foundation (NSF) under Grants EEC- 1519438, 1519453, 1519339, 1519467, 1540042,1540072, 1623189, 1623067, 1632053, and 1730262.References1 S.

RED recipients began their grants over a year ago, with the second cohort joining themin the change process in the summer of 2016. A third cohort will be added in summer 2017.In line with participatory action research (Reason & Bradbury, 2001), this project seeks toproduce knowledge and action that is directly useful to the RED awardees. We bring togethertheories of institutional change within higher education (Kezar, 2001; Kezar & Eckel, 2002) inorder to understand how each RED team conceptualizes the change process. Through REDPAR(RED Participatory Action Research), an NSF-funded collaboration between Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology and the University of Washington (UW), we work with the RED teamsto investigate the change process
