The Behavioral Measurement Shared Resource (BeMSR) is the newest addition to the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center (MCC) cores. Its establishment was initiated in 2008 by the recruitment of Dr Levent Dumenci as the Resource Director and Associate Professor of Social and Behavioral Health at VCU. The BeMSR aims to support MCC investigators by identifying psychometrically sound measures, modifying or developing new measures when the existing measures do not meet the needs of research protocols, assisting in design and analysis of behavioral data, and supporting behavioral measurement aspects of grant process from conceptualization of behavioral constructs to scholarly publications and presentations. Resources and tools available to all MCC researchers include the newly developed web-based searchable database of psychometric instruments that assists in identifying appropriate instruments for use. Expert-guided instrument searches are also available to MCC investigators. The service request can be initiated from the web portal by filling out the appropriate form. The BeMSR is now implementing web-based algorithms to collect detailed data about service use including the database searches. Although the core services are available to all MCC researchers, the request for service primarily originates from the Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) program researchers who are most likely to include psychometric instruments in their research protocols. Since its inception, the BeMSR has continually supported the development of external grant submissions including investigator-initiated applications, training grants, and career development awards. In the relatively short period of its existence, the most notable achievements include three NCI grants awarded to projects that rely on the services offered by the BeMSR.

行为测量共享资源（BeMSR）是弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）梅西癌症中心（MCC）核心的最新成员。它的成立是由Levent Dumenci博士作为资源主任和VCU社会和行为健康副教授的招聘于2008年启动的。BeMSR旨在通过识别心理测量学上的合理措施，修改或开发新的措施时，现有的措施不符合研究协议的需要，协助设计和分析行为数据，并支持从行为结构的概念化到学术出版物和演示文稿的赠款过程的行为测量方面来支持MCC调查人员。MCC所有研究人员可利用的资源和工具包括新开发的基于网络的可搜索心理测量仪器数据库，该数据库有助于确定适当的工具供使用。专家指导的仪器搜索也可供MCC调查人员使用。服务请求可以通过填写适当的表格从门户网站发起。BeMSR目前正在实施基于网络的算法，以收集有关服务使用的详细数据，包括数据库搜索。虽然所有MCC研究人员都可以获得核心服务，但服务请求主要来自癌症预防和控制（CPC）计划研究人员，他们最有可能在其研究方案中包括心理测量仪器。自成立以来，BeMSR一直支持外部赠款提交的发展，包括赞助商发起的申请，培训赠款和职业发展奖。在其存在的相对较短的时间内，最显着的成就包括三个国家癌症研究所赠款授予依赖BeMSR提供的服务的项目。
