To identify experts in prevention science methods, the Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) is working with a contractor, IQ Solutions, Inc., to develop online software which will allow them to collect researchersâ names, contact information, and resumes, as well as to have those researchers identify their level of expertise in a variety of prevention science methods and content areas. The data collected with this software will be used to support a web-based Electronic Directory that SROs can use to identify researchers with expertise in specific prevention science methods and content areas for invitation to serve on one of the NIH review panels.
