Research Interest and Methodology Sample Clauses

Research Interest and Methodology. Two design workshops were conducted to explore the role of such a framework from a user perspective. The goal was to conduct participatory design activities with possible users in order to better understand the challenges of developing and sustaining a healthy lifestyle and how an individualized framework middleware can play a supportive role with this. The perspective taken in these design workshops is a subjective, interpretive one seeking to draw from the experiences of the participants as experts of their own practice with pursuing healthy living and technology designed to support them doing that. The subsequent analysis was guided by the following research question: What implications can be drawn from a user’s practice perspective for the design of the PRECIOUS application framework? To this end, 14 participants were recruited to participate in design activities which took place in the course of two workshop meetings. As described above, recruitment was directed at a younger, technical-savvy demographic in a choice of focusing on a user-base already exposed to regular smart phone and sensor technology usage and a preventative care usage setting. The participants were asked to participate in advance by completing a survey in order to ascertain their experiences with fitness goals and overall stance on a healthy lifestyle. The design workshops were planned in the style of participatory design as employed in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), which aims at involving prospective users of a technology in its conceptual ideation as well as interaction design process. Based on Xxxxxx et al.’s notion of Context Mapping (2005), the meetings were set up as 3 hour sessions comprising of multiple iterations of 1-hour activities which were furthermore subdivided in a “Make”-part (40 minutes), and a “Say”-part (30 minutes), followed by reflection and pause (20 minutes). In the “Make” part, participants were asked to collaborate in a (sub-)group activity, followed by a “Say” part, which entailed a discussion of collaboration results. The activities done with the participants comprised of:

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.

The PI also may include general comments regarding suggestions for improving the data access process in general. Information provided in the progress updates helps NIH evaluate program activities and may be considered by the NIH GDS governance committees as part of NIH’s effort to provide ongoing stewardship of data sharing activities subject to the NIH GDS Policy.
