“…Examining academic and agency relationships is of particular relevance to the public administration scholarly and practitioner communities. Orr and Bennett (2012, 487) examined the “politics of cooperative knowledge production between practitioners and academics in the field of public administration.” Using Raadschelders’ (2008, 489) traditions of public administration scholarship, they effectively assert that “each of Raadschelders’ traditions carries a different set of objectives and therefore different intellectual and political commitments for scholarship.” From Waldo (1977) to Newland (2000) and other public administration scholars (see, e.g., Bolton and Stolcis 2003; Ospina and Dodge 2005; Posner 2009; Radin 2010; Battaglio 2008; Shields 2008; Wang, Bunch, and Stream 2013), the relationship between academics and practitioners is certainly one of the most extensively discussed subjects within the academic walls of public administration and our scholarly publications.…”

This article examines the factors that influence academic–practitioner research partnerships at the state level. The state longitudinal data system (SLDS) offers the capacity to link client-level data across multiple state agencies, providing an unparalleled opportunity to facilitate data informed decision making across PreK–20 educational and workforce agencies. Analysis of sixty-nine qualitative interviews with agency administrators and university researchers in four SLDS states (Maryland, Texas, Virginia, and Washington) suggests that understanding organizational culture, combined with formal and informal factors, influences the quality and likely long-term sustainability of these efforts. Fostering effective partnerships is fundamental to advancing public-sector, data-driven decision making.

Service-learning courses help students to identify career opportunities and foster civic engagement, but links to projects with local governments may be difficult to forge. State municipal associations are well positioned as intermediaries to link local governments and higher-education institutions, and their historic roots affirm their capacity to invest in the professionalization of the future public-service workforce. Yet, a recent survey of municipal associations revealed limited contact with higher-education institutions for the purpose of engaging students. Examples from Georgia, Iowa, and Washington highlight the potential role that municipal associations can have in the creation of service-learning opportunities for students. The demand for skilled workers in local government necessitates action by municipal associations and educators in political science to expand service-learning opportunities and access to local government.
