The Tutor-Facilitated Digital Literacy Acquisition in Hard-to-Serve Populations research project was supported by a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant.

All phases of the research were guided by two national advisory groups made up of scholars and practitioners in the field of adult education and digital literacy.
