Purpose: The goal of the UAB NORC Behavioral Science and Analytics Core is to foster collaborations and enhance productivity of investigators using behavioral science theories, constructs, and procedures for the design and delivery of clinical interventions for nutrition and obesity and the use of innovative clinical trial designs for intervention evaluation.
The core is comprised of two units: the Behavioral Assessment and Intervention Unit and the Design Analytics Unit. The Behavioral Assessment and Intervention Unit provides comprehensive support for investigators through diet and physical activity assessments, behavioral interventions, and nutrition research via its Metabolic Kitchen. The Design Analytic Unit’s statistical support center fosters campus-wide research collaboration by offering expert statistical and machine learning services to UAB affiliates and external clients.
