Behavioral Measurement

项目总结(见说明)； 行为测量共享资源(BMSR)为将行为研究整合到OSUCCC的研究目标中提供专家协助和服务。自2004年成立以来，使用量增长了12倍以上：2009年，提供了近20,000小时的服务 93.36%的使用量来自OSUCCC资助成员。预计使用量的这种增长将继续下去。BMSR由迈克尔·斯莱特博士指导，由六名高级工作人员和强有力的机构支持提供协助。他们共同为共享资源提供领导和协调，以加强高质量的癌症相关研究。BMSR的具体目标是： 1.通过提供基于人口的数据检索、患者应计程序和地点的咨询、确定或调整关键行为结构的现有测量以及指导或协助行为数据收集方法和/或人员来支持预防和控制研究人员； 2.为任何OSUCCC研究人员提供这种支持以及研究设计专业知识，以便将行为目标纳入任何基础或临床癌症研究项目。 具体地说，BMSR在同行审查资助的研究中支持以下服务：1)研究设计；2)基于人口的数据检索；3)招聘和应计，特别是对服务不足和少数群体；4)行为评估；以及5)数据收集。设计和行为测量咨询的可用性使研究人员能够减少项目开发时间并加快研究进程。为了加强国家癌症研究所和OSUCCC的目标，以支持杰出的人口科学研究项目，BMSR服务确保包括：广泛代表目标人群的研究参与者(S)； 理论和经验支持；心理测量学上健全的行为测量；可靠数据收集和管理的标准化评估程序以及行为数据分析咨询的专门知识。因此，BMSR提供了一系列服务，从规划和 通过数据收集和对行为数据的解释，制定研究建议和项目。 获得同行评审资助的OSUCCC成员占总使用量的93.36%，来自OSUCCC六个科学计划中的五个，包括癌症控制(CC)、天然免疫(IMM)、分子生物学和癌症遗传学(MBCG)和分子癌症发生和化学预防(MCC)。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions); The Behavioral Measurement Shared Resource (BMSR) provides expert assistance and services for integrating behavioral research into the research goals of the OSUCCC. Since its inaugural year in 2004, there has been a greater than 12-fold increase in usage: in 2009, nearly 20,000 hours of service was provided and 93.36% of that usage came from funded OSUCCC members. This increase in usage is expected to continue. The BMSR is directed by Dr. Michael Slater with assistance from six senior staff and strong institutional support. Together, they provide leadership and coordination of the Shared Resource to enhance high quality cancer relevant investigations. The specific aims of the BMSR are to: 1. Support prevention and control researchers by providing population-based data retrieval, consultation for patient accrual procedures and locations, identifying or adapting existing measures of key behavioral constructs and guidance or assistance with behavioral data collection methodology and/or personnel; 2. Provide any OSUCCC investigator with this support as well as research design expertise for the incorporation of behavioral aims within any basic or clinical cancer research project. Specifically, the BMSR supports the following services within peer-reviewed funded research: 1) research design; 2) population-based data retrieval; 3) recruitment and accrual, particularly with under served and minority populations; 4) behavioral assessment; and 5) data collection. The availability of design and behavioral measurement consultations enables investigators to reduce time for project development and speed the research process. To enhance National Cancer Institute and OSUCCC goals to support outstanding population science research projects, the BMSR services ensure the inclusion of: research participants that are broadly representative of the target population(s); behavioral constructs that are theoretically and empirically supported; behavioral measures that are psychometrically sound; standardized assessment procedures for reliable data collection and management and expertise for consultation regarding analysis of behavioral data. Thus, the BMSR provides a continuum of services, ranging from planning for and developing research proposals and projects, through data collection and the interpretation of behavioral data. OSUCCC members with peer-reviewed funding account for 93.36 % of the total usage and is derived from five of the six OSUCCC scientific programs including Cancer Control (CC), Innate Immunity (IMM), Molecular Biology and Cancer Genetics (MBCG) and Molecular Carcinogenesis and Chemoprevention (MCC).
