Abstract	On February 18-19, 2016, representatives of 10 states participating in the Credit When It's Due (CWID) initiative attended a convening held at the University of Utah. The meeting was led by the CWID Research Team and sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Kresge Foundation, on behalf of the CWID Funders Collaborative. The purpose of the meeting was to provide state representatives with an opportunity to discuss the implementation of CWID initiatives in their states, to share information about student participation in reverse credit transfer and research results obtained on state CWID initiatives thus far, and to engage in a conversation about future research needs pertaining to CWID, as well as more expansive questions to guide research concerning community college and university transfer. This brief summarizes some of the major points emerging from the meeting, both regarding CWID and concerning a broader transfer research agenda, including transfer research questions considered important to a substantial proportion of the meeting participants. Such questions represent the interests and concerns of leaders of state-level higher education agencies and boards, as well as leaders of state higher education systems and two- and four-year colleges and universities. The remainder of this brief is organized into two sections: (1) Major findings and observations on CWID and reverse credit transfer, as well as other transfer developments and concerns; and (2) Research questions that need to be addressed concerning CWID and transfer.
