AIR has a wealth of expertise in research synthesis and meta-analysis. Our experts have conducted systematic reviews of a wide range of interventions in education, health, and social development. This synthesis work carried out in the U.S. and internationally helps inform new policy initiatives and sets the stage for new original research that productively builds on existing knowledge. Our experts have also made important methodological contributions to meta-analysis that inform the way researchers conduct systematic reviews and summarize intervention effects across different studies.
