The National Institute for Literacy is funding three new LINCS Regional Resource Centers. The purpose of the LINCS Regional Resource Centers (Centers) is to provide for the dissemination of highest-quality resources using various approaches (such as highlighting online materials, face-to-face 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 will organize training and workshops based on Institute-developed materials, as well as provide assistance in using online instructional resources provided through LINCS.
The National Institute for Literacy through its LINCS Regional Resource Centers, is convening Health Literacy Summits in three locations in February and March 2008 to share information about the research on health literacy and resources for implementing health literacy programming.
