The Behavioral Measurement Shared Resource (BeMSR) is the newest addition to the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center (MCC) cores. Its establishment was initiated in 2008 by the recruitment of Dr Levent Dumenci as the Resource Director and Associate Professor of Social and Behavioral Health at VCU. The BeMSR aims to support MCC investigators by identifying psychometrically sound measures, modifying or developing new measures when the existing measures do not meet the needs of research protocols, assisting in design and analysis of behavioral data, and supporting behavioral measurement aspects of grant process from conceptualization of behavioral constructs to scholarly publications and presentations. Resources and tools available to all MCC researchers include the newly developed web-based searchable database of psychometric instruments that assists in identifying appropriate instruments for use. Expert-guided instrument searches are also available to MCC investigators. The service request can be initiated from the web portal by filling out the appropriate form. The BeMSR is now implementing web-based algorithms to collect detailed data about service use including the database searches. Although the core services are available to all MCC researchers, the request for service primarily originates from the Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) program researchers who are most likely to include psychometric instruments in their research protocols. Since its inception, the BeMSR has continually supported the development of external grant submissions including investigator-initiated applications, training grants, and career development awards. In the relatively short period of its existence, the most notable achievements include three NCI grants awarded to projects that rely on the services offered by the BeMSR.

行为测量共享资源（BEMSR）是弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）梅西癌症中心（MCC）核心的最新成员。它的成立于2008年由VCU的资源总监兼社会和行为健康副教授招募，于2008年启动。 BEMSR的目的是通过确定心理测量措施，在现有措施不满足研究方案的需求，有助于设计和分析行为数据以及支持授予过程的行为测量方面，从行为构建的概念化到学术构建和演讲来支持授予过程的行为测量方面，从而支持MCC研究人员，从而对MCC研究者进行支持。所有可用于所有MCC研究人员的资源和工具都包括新开发的基于Web的心理测量工具的可搜索数据库，可帮助您识别适当的使用工具。 MCC调查人员也可以使用专家指导的仪器搜索。可以通过填写适当的表格来从Web门户启动服务请求。 BEMSR现在正在实施基于Web的算法，以收集有关服务使用的详细数据，包括数据库搜索。尽管所有MCC研究人员都可以使用核心服务，但服务请求主要源自癌症预防和控制（CPC）计划的研究人员，他们最有可能在其研究方案中包括心理测量工具。自成立以来，BEMSR一直支持开发外部赠款提交的提交，包括调查员发起的申请，培训补助金和职业发展奖。在其存在的相对较短的时期，最著名的成就包括依靠BEMSR提供的服务的项目授予的三项NCI赠款。
