Did You Know: NCCOR’s Measures Registry can enhance your grant proposal?
April 2019, NCCOR
Are you working on an upcoming grant proposal? Consider using NCCOR’s Measures Registry to strengthen your proposal. The Measures Registry is a searchable database of diet and physical activity measures relevant to childhood obesity research. Its purpose is to standardize the use of common measures and research methods across childhood obesity research at the individual, community, and population levels. The Measures Registry also has filters that can help you reach your intended population and highlights the psychometric properties of each measure including reliability and validity.
