In 2020 Derek reached out in order to connect with and learn from organizers as he was starting his own research. This is what he said afterwards: 

“My research focuses on how partisan political campaigns in the United States engage and mobilize Latino voters. Research4impact helped crystallize my research topic and provided useful tips for how to approach practitioners and political campaigns. These conversations allowed me to identify which research topics are most relevant to both academics and practitioners. I appreciate the enormous support throughout this process and continued connections and advice.”
