Created in 2000, the international Campbell Collaboration (C2) is a non-profit organization that generates systematic reviews of evidence from existing studies of interventions in education, crime and justice, and social welfare. Reviews are available through the Campbell Library's two databases: the C2 Social, Psychological, Education, and Criminological Trials Registry (C2-SPECTR), and the C2 Reviews of Interventions, and Policy Evaluations (C2-RIPE). Access to both databases is free of charge.
A joint project of the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) and the Education Commission of the States (ECS), the goal of the primer is to help policymakers and others have a better understanding of research and how it can be used to guide policy.
