Rigorous research. Meaningful recognition. Real-world impact.

We’re delighted to celebrate Dr. Jeff Vomund, Director of SWORPS’ Division of Applied Research and Evaluation, who has received the 2026 Paul R. Pintrich Division 15 Dissertation Award from the American Psychological Association’s Division 15 (Educational Psychology).

The award recognizes outstanding dissertation research in educational psychology, and Jeff will have the opportunity to address Division 15 at its 2027 conference in San Francisco.

At SWORPS, rigorous research and evaluation aren’t simply academic exercises. They help organizations ask better questions, understand what the evidence is telling them, and use what they learn to strengthen programs, policies, and services.

We’re tremendously proud to see Jeff’s scholarship recognized nationally—and grateful for the expertise and leadership he brings to this work every day.

At SWORPS, technology matters most when it reduces burden on the people doing the work.

We recently enabled automated reporting submissions for a statewide database for educators—reducing manual aggregation and improving consistency.

Embedding decision support into workflows helps systems focus on outcomes—not re-entry.
