<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:black">The topic of literacy research is construed broadly to include research that informs literacy theory, practice, and/or policy. A contribution to the field may include articles
that either substantively develop or add to an existing area of research, combine existing areas of research in ways that have promise to positively influence literacy education, or create a new or less considered area of investigation with promise to positively
influence literacy education. As an award of the Literacy Research Association, the award focuses on the broadest possible conceptualization of literacy, that necessarily entails all of the epistemological, methodological, disciplinary, and topical perspectives
found in LRA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
