The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, in collaboration with the School of Medicine, received a one-year, $647,000 grant from National Institutes of Health, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to establish a new one-stop, campuswide Behavioral Science Measurement Resource Laboratory at Case Western Reserve University.
“This project will result in a full-service, high-profile lab that will accelerate the speed of scientific advances. It will provide researchers with quicker and easier access to a comprehensive set of services, state-of-the-art equipment and approaches to measure behavior and its effect on health outcomes,” said Shirley Moore, the associate dean for research at the nursing school.
Moore will lead the project and work closely with Elaine Borawski, co-director of the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods and associate professor of epidemiology and biostatistics and Sue Flocke, associate professor of medicine, who oversees behavior labs at the School of Medicine.
The new center merges three unique, but overlapping, behavior labs scattered throughout the university: the FIND Lab (Full Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Research), the Survey Development Lab, and the Behavioral Measurement Core Facility.
