The Campbell Collaboration
The Campbell Collaboration collaborates closely with its sibling organization, the Cochrane Collaboration, which prepares and maintains systematic reviews of the effects of interventions in health care.

The C2 Register of Interventions and Policy Evaluations (C2-RIPE)
The C2 Social, Psychological, Education, and Criminological Trials Registry (C2-SPECTR)
