Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Individuals affected by stress, trauma, or resilience-related challenges may benefit from future interventions developed with these enhanced research capabilities.
✕Less likely to help
Participants in this grant are not directly enrolled as subjects; benefits would come from outcomes of future, related studies.
What this research studies
The TADA Core helps researchers study stress and trauma by using advanced observation, lab, and intervention tools with high-quality data you could be part of. It offers methods for digital phenotyping, ecologically valid data collection, and electronically-delivered adaptive interventions. The core also provides data management, electronic data capture, and complex statistical analysis to handle longitudinal studies. Facilities like eye-tracking, wearable tech, and mixed-methods hubs are available to support researchers across STAR projects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the core could accelerate discovery and refinement of interventions for stress and trauma by enabling richer data and more responsive study designs.
How similar studies have gone: Previous phases demonstrated productive use of advanced technologies and data approaches across multiple STAR projects, with ongoing development of new methods.
