The Education and the Public Interest Center (EPIC) at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Education Policy Research Unit (EPRU) and the Commercialism in Education Research Unit (CERU) at Arizona State University collaborate to sponsor research, produce policy briefs, and publish expert third party reviews of think tank reports. The center's publications are written in accessible language and are intended for a broad audience that includes academic experts, policy makers, the media, and the general public. Our goal is provide high quality information in support of democratic deliberation about education policy.

EPIC and EPRU also created, in 2007, the Education Policy Alliance, a nationwide network of university-based research centers and organizations.
