Introducing the Disability Coordinating Group of the Campbell Collaboration

Free webcast on May 30, 2017 at 2-2:30 p.m. CT/ 3-3:30 p.m. ET

The Campbell Collaboration is an international research network that promotes positive social and economic change through the production and use of systematic reviews and other evidence synthesis for evidence-based policy and practice. On May 5, 2017, the Board of the Campbell Collaboration approved establishing the Disability Coordinating Group (DCG).

Participants will learn how to submit systematic reviews to the DCG and what assistance is available for review teams, both from KTDRR and from the DCG, in developing reviews that meet appropriate standards, methods and guidelines. This webcast is an activity of the Community of Practice on Evidence in Disability and Rehabilitation Research (CoP-EDR). (There are no CRC-CEUs associated with this webcast.)

New Online Workshop Available!
Systematic Reviewing for
Evidence-based Practice

Interested in submitting a systematic review to the new Disability Coordinating Group at the Campbell Collaboration? This 3.5 hour online workshop is your no-cost opportunity to learn the basics of conducting a high-quality systematic review, learning from Campbell Collaboration trainers about Campbell’s “gold standard” methods.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify and structure a systematic review topic
• Describe the steps for conducting a comprehensive literature search and gathering relevant studies
• Develop a coding protocol for extracting relevant information from included studies
• Have a working knowledge of the tools and resources available for conducting a Campbell systematic review and meta-analysis
• Be informed consumers of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

KTDRR offers all NIDILRR Grantees No-Cost Technical Assistance

As a reminder: KTDRR offers all NIDILRR grantees no-cost technical assistance (TA). Maybe you are interested in doing a systematic review to submit to the Campbell Collaboration's new Disability Coordinating Group so that your work will have high visibility. You have done the online training (see above) or attended one of KTDRR’s workshops, but want more information about what is involved. Or perhaps what’s on your mind is that NIDILRR grantees’ annual performance reports are due next month. Do you need some advice about how to report your knowledge translation activity outcomes? Or, are you in your first year of your award and want to plan for the years to come?

KTDRR has a pool of consultants with specific expertise in these areas ready for consult and support. All requests are kept confidential. If you would prefer, however, we can also facilitate your participation in a network of NIDILRR grantees who can receive TA collectively and share resources. For more information see https://ktdrr.org/ta or email us at ktdrr@air.org.
