The development of new methodologies to improve the quality and scientific power of data collected in behavioral and social sciences research is a priority for OBSSR. Methodological development encompasses advances in research design, data collection, measurement and data analytic techniques, in addition to technological breakthroughs and infrastructure development. Improvement in all of these is critical to the continuing advancement of behavioral and social sciences research and for the meaningful integration of behavioral and social science data with those obtained from the biological, physical, and computational sciences or engineering in interdisciplinary research Methodological development will help address the following questions:
- How can we apply advances in computer sciences, geospatial coding methods, imaging, and biomarker collection and other technologies to measure behavior in real time and in natural contexts?
- How can improvements in computational and statistical techniques help us decipher the health effects of biological, behavioral, social and environmental factors, which are non-linear, mutually-interacting, and changing over time?
- What informatics grids, networking, and database infrastructures are needed to support the massive amounts of data we are now able to collect with new technologies?
