The article discusses the scope of the research in the Bringing Theory to Practice (BTP) project, which seeks the advancement of knowledge and the establishment of best practices centered in the BTP triangularity of engaged learning, student mental health and well-being, and civic development. According to the authors, BTP has developed an aggressive research agenda through systematically evaluating funded projects that intentionally address this triangularity. Principally, the article talks about the development and design of a research approach, encapsulates findings to date and describes future research directions.
