The Behavioral Measurement and Interventions Shared Resource

The Behavioral Measurement and Interventions Shared Resource (BMISR) has more than 25 years of experience providing support to researchers studying human lifestyle behaviors (e.g. diet, physical activity, tobacco use, sun exposure) spanning the cancer continuum.

 

The BMISR is a highly used resource that provides innovative approaches to investigator needs, offering a large team of trained student research assistants to collect data, specialized staff to manage data and co-directors to serve as consultants.

Between 2020-2023, the BMISR served 17 University of Arizona Cancer Center members and worked with 9 external collaborators including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center. In addition, the BMISR serves as the measurement core for two ENICTO (Exercise and Nutrition Interventions to Improve Cancer Treatment-Related Outcomes) trials.
