The project delivers two primary objectives: (1) comprehensive research services through a team of accomplished scholars who identify newly published research in real time and produce both detailed research reports and action-oriented brief summaries on military family topics; and (2) digital outreach through maintenance and innovation of the Military REACH website and digital library (militaryreach.auburn.edu), which currently houses over 11,000 research holdings to ensure broad accessibility of materials to stakeholders across the military community. Auburn University has served as the Military REACH team since 2017 and collaborates with USDA/NIFA on this effort. The project includes a sub-award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc., effective January 5, 2026.Federal Grant Award Summary
