Overview

In 2015, the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center released recommendations for conducting focused research on respite care in a final report from the ARCH Expert Panel on Respite Research, Research Agenda for Respite Care: Deliberations of an Expert Panel of Researchers, Advocates and Funders.

Since then, ARCH has brought together researchers and funders in a Respite Research Consortium to help implement the Panel's research recommendations to strengthen the evidence base for respite. Building upon their work, ARCH is convening a virtual Respite Research Summit for researchers in the ARCH Research Consortium, members of the Expert Panel on Respite Research, international and U.S. researchers, funders, respite providers and services, advocates and others who are interested in helping to advance a respite research agenda and strengthen respite services.

The objectives of the Summit are to:

Provide an overview of the current status of respite and related research;
Highlight respite and promising practice-based research with reference to the Expert Panel research framework;
Review progress made in implementing the Expert Panel's six recommendations; and
Identify gaps in and barriers to respite research, the translation of research into practice, and steps forward to address these.

ARCH wishes to thank The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Wareheim Foundation for their generous support.

This project is supported, in part by grant number 90LT0002, from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201. Grantees undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official Administration for Community Living policy.
