What does it take to turn decades of research into real change for New York’s kids and families? The Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research’s 2026 Extension Spotlight gives you a glimpse of how we move research into communities across the state and beyond. From PRYDE’s Youth Investigators Program that puts research tools directly in teens’ hands, to farmers’ market nutrition programs helping thousands of New Yorkers, to trauma-informed training reaching many of the state’s public schools, the report highlights five programs translating Cornell research into meaningful impact.
Rooted in Cornell’s land-grant mission, this year’s spotlight tells the story of a center closing the gap between what research knows and what our communities experience, one classroom, farmers’ market and community center at a time.
