Grid-Enabled Measures (GEM) Update PopSciSIG Face 2 Face Meeting Rick P. Moser, Ph.D. Research Psychologist July 29, 2010
Grid Enabled Measures (GEM): Science 2.0 • Architecture for participation • Data driven decisions • Wisdom of the masses Overall Goals: To facilitate a virtual community of scientists using collaborative web technology to: • vet and promote the use of standardized measures– based on theoretically-meaningful constructs; • share the resulting harmonized data. https://www.gem-beta.org/
Current State of GEM • Constructs: 73 • Measures: 110 • Registered Users: 190
Next Steps Update Features • Status flags • Content area as meta-data • Filtering • Edit comments Continue to Develop Datasets Tab • Add publicly available datasets • Other possible data: • CECCRs • LAF Connect with Cancer Centers • Coordination of behavioral measures • Possible data sharing
Dissemination Efforts April, 2010: Society of Behavioral Medicine September, 2010 to April, 2011: • Work with professional organizations to propose and vet measures for curation • Society of Behavioral Medicine • American Public Health Association • Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco • Press Club event Spring, 2011 AJPM Special Issue • Special supplement on cyberinfrastructure • Published by Spring, 2011
