The Graduate Program Intake Playbook introduces “From Evidence to Action,” a living research section designed to bridge the gap between academic research and practical graduate program leadership. Recognizing that program leaders often lack time and tools to translate empirical findings, this resource curates credible, discipline-neutral studies to inform program design and management. Each entry follows a consistent, five-part structure—from citation to practice implications—to ensure accessibility for deans, directors, and managers. The initiative aims to shift programs from transactional pipelines toward learner-centered, evidence-based ecosystems through free, accessible resources.
