Informatics for Consumer Health
NCI
Westat developed and maintains InformaticsForConsumerHealth.org, a clearinghouse of information on consumer health information technology advances aimed at federal and commercial partners, researchers, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, software and application developers, and consumer advocates. We use Twitter and LinkedIn and key dissemination and promotion channels, and advise on traditional and digital marketing strategies.
Team Science Toolkit
NCI
The Team Science Toolkit connects professionals across disciplines who practice team-based research or who evaluate its outcomes and practices. Westat designed this online, user-generated collection of information and resources based on multiple rounds of usability testing. Features include a central database that allows users to upload or download tools, measures, and instruments. Westat also develops materials and strategies to help promote the toolkit.
Grid-Enabled Measures Database
NCI
GEM is an interactive website and collaborative tool for biobehavioral researchers aimed at facilitating the use of common measures in research and sharing harmonized data for meta-analysis. Users can search for constructs, download measures, add or edit items, and provide feedback and ratings. Westat has worked with NCI to develop the database, and in 2011, we began developing collaborative “workspaces” for groups of users with shared research interests.
