This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will establish the Archive of Exemplary Behavioral Science Research Instruments (BSRI) on the Internet and on CD-ROM. A printed Guide to the Behavioral Science Research Instrument Archive will also be produced. The BSRI Archive will contain searchable, edit-ready, and print-ready machine-readable versions of approximately 200 exemplary demographic, behavioral, and health science instruments-questionnaires, medical forms, interview protocols--used to collect the quantitative research data in the Sociometrics Data Archives and to document the effectiveness of the promising social intervention programs comprising the Sociometrics Program Archives. Each of the topically-focused data and program archives that will contribute research and evaluation instruments to BSRI is a "best-of-the-lot" collection, carefully chosen using criteria of scientific merit, substantive utility, and policy relevance by a National Advisory Panel of scientists who are experts in that topical focus of the archives. Norms for the scales and items comprising the BSRI instruments will be included in the archive in the form of scale means and standard deviations, item frequencies or response distributions, and item cross-tabulations with age, race/ethnicity, and gender, obtained from the linked data archives at Sociometrics. If Phase II concept refinement explorations are successful, BSRI will also contain a link to the corresponding data file that will allow a researcher to select variables for a fully documented SPSS or SAS analysis extract file from BSRI's variable listing, original instrument, and/or item statistics. This new feature should be of enormous help to the researcher, as it will allow him/her to see the complete context of the item prior to selecting it for analysis. BSRI's instrument search, edit, and print capabilities-along with its development in print, CD-ROM, and Internet formats-make BSRI a natural product for several thousand institutional target markets serving several hundred thousand individual users. Among BSI's target markets are: (1) academic markets, including 5,000+ social science departments, 160,000+ social and health science professors and researchers working in the topical areas covered by BSRI, 3,000+ main libraries at colleges and universities, and 100+ medical libraries in universities; (2) policymaking and business markets, such as the 200+ member Assoc. of Public Data Users, and (3) general information resource markets, such as 9,000+ public libraries.

小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目将在互联网和光盘上建立示范性行为科学研究仪器档案（BSRI）。还将制作行为科学研究仪器档案的印刷指南。BSRI档案将包含约200个示例性人口统计学，行为和健康科学工具的可搜索，可编辑和可打印的机器可读版本-问卷，医疗表格，访谈协议-用于收集社会计量学数据档案中的定量研究数据，并记录有前途的社会干预计划的有效性，包括社会计量学计划档案。 每一个将为BSRI提供研究和评估工具的主题数据和项目档案都是“最好的”集合，由国家科学家顾问小组根据科学价值，实质性效用和政策相关性的标准精心挑选，这些科学家是档案主题重点的专家。 构成BSRI工具的量表和项目的标准将以量表平均值和标准差、项目频率或应答分布以及从Sociometrics的链接数据档案中获得的年龄、人种/种族和性别的项目交叉表的形式纳入档案中。 如果第二阶段的概念完善探索成功，BSRI还将包含一个链接到相应的数据文件，这将允许研究人员选择变量，从BSRI的变量列表，原始工具和/或项目统计中完整记录的SPSS或SAS分析提取文件。 这个新功能应该对研究人员有很大的帮助，因为它可以让他/她在选择分析之前看到项目的完整上下文。 BSRI的仪器搜索、编辑和打印功能，以及其在印刷、CD-ROM和Internet格式方面的发展，使BSRI成为数千个机构目标市场的自然产品，为数十万个人用户提供服务。 BSI的目标市场包括：（1）学术市场，包括5，000多个社会科学部门，160，000多名在BSRI覆盖的主题领域工作的社会和健康科学教授和研究人员，3，000多所学院和大学的主要图书馆，以及100多所大学的医学图书馆;（2）政策制定和商业市场，如200多个成员的公共数据用户协会，（3）一般信息资源市场，如9,000多个公共图书馆。
