Awarded a Campbell Methods Grant

Posted on by

I am honored to announce that Joshua R. Polanin and I were awarded a $20,000 methods grant from the Campbell Collaboration for the project “Verifying the Accuracy of Statistical Significance Testing in Campbell Collaboration Systematic Reviews Through the Use of the R Package statcheck”.

The grant is part of the Campbell Collaboration’s program to supporting innovative methods development in order to improve the quality of systematic reviews. It is great that we (and statcheck!) can be a part of this effort.

For more information about the grant and the three other recipients, see their website here.
