AIR’s Pipeline Partnership Program
The AIR Pipeline Partnership Program (P3) is committed to fostering an inclusive culture that actively seeks and values diverse perspectives and experiences. This commitment extends beyond AIR and into the broader behavioral and social science research sector. Central to P3 is guiding and mentoring the next generation of research and technical assistance professionals, ensuring that they are equipped to address complex societal challenges with a deep understanding of cultural competency and inclusivity.
Launched in 2020, the Pipeline Partnership Program (P3) is AIR’s joint venture with Georgia State University in Atlanta; Howard University in Washington, D.C.; the University of Texas at San Antonio; the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and the University of Nairobi, Kenya. The program offers a platform for AIR staff to engage with graduate students and faculty, in an effort to sustain the diversity of research and technical assistance work conducted by scholars in the behavioral and social sciences.
As part of the program, AIR experts and AIR Scholars provide education and training in the latest behavioral and social science research approaches, grounded in cultural competency principles. Participants benefit from mentoring, networking, internship, and career advancement opportunities. The result is that emerging and next-generation professionals approach their careers in behavioral and social science fields with greater cultural competence and a stronger capacity for success in their research pursuits. At the same time, AIR staff share in those benefits by expanding and diversifying their own professional networks.
