3C Institute is a private, for-profit research and development company based in Cary, North Carolina [1]. The company develops evidence-based social and emotional learning products for children, adolescents, and parents [2]. 3C Institute also partners with researchers and program providers to develop customized digital information delivery systems, such as intelligent games, e-training platforms, and web-based assessments [3].
Background
[edit]3-C Institute for Social Development was founded in 2001 by clinical psychologist Dr. Melissa DeRosier [4]. The organization changed its name to 3C Institute in 2013 [5]. Dr. DeRosier received her doctorate from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1992 and completed a two-year fellowship at Duke University Medical Center [3]. She then worked on a five-year federal grant examining bullying and violence prevention in Wake County, North Carolina schools [3]. She observed that teachers and schools were using non-evidence-based programs to improve social and emotional skills and founded the company to address this research-to-practice gap [2]. The company sought Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding for the development of its products Cite error: The <ref>

Awards
[edit]3C Institute was recognized with the U.S. Small Business Association’s Tibbetts Award in 2011 [7] and received a special Award of Excellence for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship in 2014 from the U.S. Small Business Administration, which highlights entrepreneurs who find unique and novel solutions to social problems [3].
Products and Services
[edit]3C Institute has developed web- and game-based interventions to address children and adolescents’ behavioral and social problems [4]. The company’s flagship product, Social Skills Group Intervention (S.S.GRIN), received recognition from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as a mental health promotion winner in 2010 [8]. The effectiveness of S.S.GRIN was proven by tracking 1,500 students over three years in 10 schools [8]. S.S.GRIN for High-Functioning Autism is listed in SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices [9] and the National Autism Network [10].
Other products include Zoo U Assessment, a game-based social skills assessment for elementary school students [11], Zoo U, a social-emotional learning game for elementary school students that is in development Cite error: The <ref>
tag name cannot be a simple integer (see the help page)., and Stories in Motion, a social-emotional learning game for elementary school students with high-functioning autism that is in development Cite error: The <ref>
tag name cannot be a simple integer (see the help page)..
3-C Technologies, a division of 3C Institute, works with outside clients to develop programs to help researchers collect and translate data better [1]. 3C has developed training models for school psychologists and others to help them apply the interventions more accurately and effectively [1]. A notable project has been the Student Curriculum on Resilience Education (SCoRE), which helps first-year college students adjust to the unique stresses of college life and was created in partnership with Leading Education and Awareness for Depression (LEAD) [12], [13], [14].
