Centerscope articles provide detailed information about the

used to guide Research and Training Center activities. Articles also describe the history of
evidence-based practice, evidence-based strategies for dissemination and utilization, and the
results of field tests that have been conducted by RTC staff. 
Bridges are practice-based research syntheses of topics related to early childhood development.
These syntheses involve systematic analysis and integration of small bodies of research that have
investigated the same or similar practices leading to the same or similar outcomes.
Bottomlines are one- to two-page summaries of the practice-based research syntheses. Bottomlines describe the
practice and inform the reader about the available research
evidence to support the practice. These summaries, written in a user-friendly format, are designed specifically
for practitioners and parents. 
Solutions Tool Kits include descriptions of methods and strategies that can be implemented
to achieve an effect similar to that reported in a particular research synthesis. Solutions Tool Kits include user-friendly brochures, newsletters, video tapes, and PowerPoint presentations where the relationship
between characteristics of the practice and the results that can be expected is carefully explained. Solutions Tool Kits are designed to be used by parents and early childhood practitioners.
Solutions Tool Kits include four types of practice guides:
