Core B: Technology, Assessment, Data, and Analysis Core

The TADA Core project supports the STAR COBRE by providing advanced technological and analytical support for stress-related research, including data collection, digital phenotyping, and adaptive interventions, aiming to expand services and sustainability.

Description

The Technology, Assessment, Data, and Analysis (TADA) Core will support the Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) COBRE by leveraging novel technological, methodological, design and analytical approaches to support and enrich STAR research projects. Specifically, the TADA Core will provide support for an array of innovative, state-of-the-field methods—uniquely offering expertise in leveraging technology for observational, laboratory and interventional studies critical for (1) obtaining ecologically valid data on stress exposures, and psychological, behavioral, and physiological responses with high temporal resolution, (2) novel approaches to digital phenotyping, and (3) electronically-delivered adaptive interventions. During Phase 1, TADA was highly productive, supporting 106 researchers and providing nearly two dozen workshops and trainings. The core established laboratories, assessment hubs, and a measures repository, including equipment like eye trackers and biospecimen freezers. Building on Phase 1 success, Phase 2 will expand services, support long-term sustainability, and serve a broader community. Specific aims include providing expertise for study design, technology implementation, data management, and training, as well as creating a data repository.
