DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to foster evidence-based research in complementary and alternative medicine through the secondary analysis of scientifically sound CAM datasets. It will do this by facilitating access to, and statistical analysis of original individual-level data from outstanding scientific datasets through the creation of an international CAM Data Archive (CAMDA). The archive will comprise three kinds of machine-readable materials: (1) approximately 30-50 exemplary datasets, fully documented and made compatible with a variety of popular statistical software programs and operating systems; (2) the measurement instruments, questionnaires, and protocols (in machine-readable and searchable PDF format) that correspond to the datasets; and (3) HTML and Adobe-based search and retrieval software to identify those portions of the datasets and measurement instruments relevant to user-specified research questions and keywords. Each archived study will also include a standardized printed and machine-readable User's Guide describing the study, its contents, and important analysis notes. The archive will be easy to use, fast, and efficient. It will serve the widest possible user constituency, health researchers, social scientists, educators, students, and policy makers, and maximize its availability by offering all its products on CD-ROM and as downloadable files on the Internet through Sociometrics' Socionet server. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Prospective users of CAMDA include researchers, health practitioners, policy-makers, educators, students, and other health and social science data consumers. These groups represent a potential for tens of thousands of individual and institutional sales. Sociometrics current data archives have sold over $158,000 in total volume, an increase of 40% in the last 9 months of this year. In light of the value-added features associated with CAMDA, we expect it to match and exceed this pace.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是通过对科学声音CAM数据集的次要分析来培养基于证据的互补和替代医学研究。它将通过促进访问访问权限和统计分析，并通过创建国际CAM数据档案（CAMDA）对原始个人级别数据进行访问和统计分析。该档案将包括三种可读的机器可读材料：（1）大约30-50个模范数据集，已充分记录并与各种流行的统计软件程序和操作系统兼容； （2）与数据集对应的测量仪器，问卷和协议（以机器可读和可搜索的PDF格式）； （3）基于HTML和基于Adobe的搜索和检索软件，以识别与用户指定的研究问题和关键字相关的数据集和测量工具的部分。每项存档研究还将包括描述研究，其内容和重要分析说明的标准化印刷和机器可读用户指南。该档案将易于使用，快速和高效。它将为最广泛的用户选区，健康研究人员，社会科学家，教育工作者，学生和政策制定者提供服务，并通过在CD-ROM上提供所有产品，并通过SocioMetrics的Socionet Server在Internet上提供所有产品，从而最大程度地利用其可用性。 拟议的商业应用程序：CAMDA的潜在用户包括研究人员，卫生从业人员，决策者，教育者，学生以及其他健康和社会科学数据消费者。 这些群体代表了数以万计的个人和机构销售的潜力。 社会计量准则当前的数据档案的总销量已超过158,000美元，在今年的最后9个月中增加了40％。 鉴于与CAMDA相关的增值功能，我们希望它匹配并超过此步伐。
