DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to foster evidence-based research in complementary and alternative medicine through the secondary analysis of scientifically sound CAM datasets. It will do this by facilitating access to, and statistical analysis of original individual-level data from outstanding scientific datasets through the creation of an international CAM Data Archive (CAMDA). The archive will comprise three kinds of machine-readable materials: (1) approximately 30-50 exemplary datasets, fully documented and made compatible with a variety of popular statistical software programs and operating systems; (2) the measurement instruments, questionnaires, and protocols (in machine-readable and searchable PDF format) that correspond to the datasets; and (3) HTML and Adobe-based search and retrieval software to identify those portions of the datasets and measurement instruments relevant to user-specified research questions and keywords. Each archived study will also include a standardized printed and machine-readable User's Guide describing the study, its contents, and important analysis notes. The archive will be easy to use, fast, and efficient. It will serve the widest possible user constituency, health researchers, social scientists, educators, students, and policy makers, and maximize its availability by offering all its products on CD-ROM and as downloadable files on the Internet through Sociometrics' Socionet server. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Prospective users of CAMDA include researchers, health practitioners, policy-makers, educators, students, and other health and social science data consumers. These groups represent a potential for tens of thousands of individual and institutional sales. Sociometrics current data archives have sold over $158,000 in total volume, an increase of 40% in the last 9 months of this year. In light of the value-added features associated with CAMDA, we expect it to match and exceed this pace.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目标是通过对科学合理的 CAM 数据集进行二次分析，促进补充和替代医学的循证研究。它将通过创建国际 CAM 数据档案 (CAMDA)，促进对杰出科学数据集中原始个人数据的访问和统计分析，从而实现这一目标。该档案将包括三种机器可读材料：(1) 大约 30-50 个示例数据集，完整记录并与各种流行的统计软件程序和操作系统兼容； （2）与数据集对应的测量仪器、调查问卷和实验方案（机器可读、可搜索的PDF格式）； (3) 基于 HTML 和 Adob​​e 的搜索和检索软件，用于识别数据集和测量工具中与用户指定的研究问题和关键词相关的部分。每项存档的研究还将包括一份标准化的印刷版和机器可读的用户指南，描述该研究、其内容和重要的分析注释。该档案将易于使用、快速且高效。它将为最广泛的用户群体、健康研究人员、社会科学家、教育工作者、学生和政策制定者提供服务，并通过以 CD-ROM 形式提供所有产品以及通过 Sociometrics 的 Socionet 服务器在互联网上以可下载文件的形式提供其所有产品，从而最大限度地提高其可用性。 拟议的商业应用：CAMDA 的潜在用户包括研究人员、卫生从业者、政策制定者、教育工作者、学生以及其他健康和社会科学数据消费者。 这些群体代表了数以万计的个人和机构销售的潜力。 Sociometrics 目前的数据档案总销量已超过 158,000 美元，比今年最后 9 个月增长了 40%。 鉴于与 CAMDA 相关的增值功能，我们预计它能够匹配并超过这一速度。
