DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) The internet has evolved in recent years from a limited operation used by university and government entities to a structure fundamental in the daily routine of virtually all organizations, both public and private, and millions of individual users. The use of the web for research studies has a number of advantages in terms of cost savings, reduced personnel needs, and data quality. In multi-center clinical trials, web technology has broadened the communication lines between coordinating centers and remote sites to such an extent that the conversion of many standard trial functions to online processing is not only desirable and feasible but in short order will become a necessity. Building upon our already considerable experience in this area, this proposal requests funding to develop web-based routines that will have broad applicability to the clinical trials and epidemiologic studies supported by the National Eye Institute and to establish a resource center to facilitate their use. The specific objectives of the proposal are to: -Develop web-based training and certification routines for ophthalmic personnel involved in visual acuity testing in multi-center clinical trials. -Establish a resource center for the NEI-funded clinical trials for web-based training and certification testing at Jaeb Center for Health Research -Develop web-based patient visual acuity testing for clinical trials. We have already developed a web-based training and certification program for pediatric visual acuity testing. We now propose to extend t his technology to develop a similar program for the standard refraction and ETDRS visual acuity protocols routinely used in adult clinical trials measuring visual acuity. We believe that this program will gain widespread use and expect it to be used by all NEI trials measuring visual acuity with the ETDRS chars. Therefore, we will establish a resource center for all of the NEI-funded clinical trials for training and certification of vision testers using both the pediatric and ETDRS protocols. We believe that such a center will not only enhance data quality in NEI trials but will also reduce the costs to conduct many trials. Development of a web-based program for actual visual acuity testing is a natural extension of the work we have already done. This, too, can be expected to be a resource for all NEI trials measuring visual acuity.

描述：（申请人的摘要）近年来互联网已经发展 从大学和政府实体使用的有限操作到 几乎所有组织的日常工作的基础 公共和私人，以及数百万个个人用户。使用网络 研究研究在节省成本方面具有许多优势，减少了 人员需求和数据质量。在多中心临床试验中 技术扩大了协调中心之间的通信路线 和远程站点的程度使许多标准试验的转换 在线处理的功能不仅是可取的和可行的，而且简而言之 订单将成为必要。 在我们在这方面已经有丰富经验的基础上，该提案 请求资金来开发基于Web的例程 适用于临床试验和流行病学研究 国家眼科研究所并建立一个资源中心，以促进他们 使用。该提案的具体目标是： - 基于网络的培训和眼科人的认证例程 在多中心临床试验中参与视力测试。 - 建立基于Web的Nei资助的临床试验的资源中心 JAEB健康研究中心的培训和认证测试 - 基于Web的开发患者视力测试临床试验。 我们已经开发了一个基于网络的培训和认证计划 小儿视力测试。我们现在建议将他的技术扩展到 为标准折射制定类似的程序和ETDRS VISTIS敏锐度 通常用于测量视力的成人临床试验中的方案。我们 相信该程序将获得广泛的使用，并期望将其使用 所有NEI试验都用ETDRS CHAR测量视力。因此，我们会的 为所有NEI资助的临床试验建立资源中心 使用儿科和ETDR对视力测试人员进行培训和认证 协议。我们认为，这样的中心不仅会提高数据质量 NEI试验，但还将降低进行许多试验的成本。发展 用于实际视敏度测试的基于Web的程序是自然扩展 我们已经完成的工作。这也可以期望成为资源 对于所有测量视力的NEI试验。
