**Metrics Life Cycle & Archive Policy**
**H. K. (Rama) Ramapriyan**
**NASA/GSFC**
**Metrics Planning and Reporting (MPAR) WG**
**7****th**** Earth Science Data Systems Working Group**
**Philadelphia, PA**
**October 21-23, 2008**

## Metrics Life Cycle – Need for Archive Policy

**Metrics Life Cycle:**
- Metrics are reported by REASoN and ACCESS Projects now, will be reported by MEaSUREs starting in FY2009.
- The Metrics Life Cycle has two phases:
- Active Phase – while projects are active, metrics are used to measure their progress; each project’s metrics are maintained on-line accessible to that project and NASA (and NASA support) staff;
- Archive Phase – after projects are completed, project metrics individually and collectively provide a historical record, and allow retrospective analysis of the programs as well as individual projects.
- MPARWG (in October 2007) recognized the value of this historical record, and called for a formal Metrics Archive Policy statement.
- An Archive Policy was formulated and circulated to the MPARWG for comment in April 2008, then recommended to NASA HQ in May, 2008.
- The next two charts present the recommended Archive Policy.

## Community Data Systems Metrics Archive Policy

**Community Data Systems and Metrics Archive Policy:**
- Community Data Systems are funded by periodic calls for proposals and selection through a peer-review process.
- They exist for a specified finite duration during which they operate, produce data products and/or provide services.
- Metrics that measure their productivity (quantities of processed and distributed data, numbers of users, impact on society, etc.) are collected regularly by NASA for the duration of their funding.
- These metrics are a valuable historical record of overall performance of the NASA programs related to data systems.
- The Archive Policy provides guidelines for maintaining the metrics data after the periods of performance of the individual funded community data systems.
- (Taken from Archive Policy introduction.)

## Metrics Archive Policy

**Metrics Archive Policy:**
**All metrics data collected shall be saved permanently, in accordance with Privacy Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, and NASA policies.**
**This includes, but is not limited to, keeping the data in an area that is not subject to outside access (i.e., not connected to any network), and password protected inside the storage machine.**
**Access for analysis will be granted on a case by case basis by the individual(s) managing the metrics activity when written (including email) requests are made.**
**Currently, those individuals are the Coordinator of Earth Science Data System Working Groups and the NASA Civil Servant Co-Chair of the Metrics Planning and Reporting Working Group.**
**Metrics will be archived in a format that facilitates analysis via common spreadsheet programs, e.g. Excel, and Impact Metrics will be archived in their original format (jpeg or pdf).**
**Any changes to technical aspects of implementation of this policy must be approved by NASA Civil Servant Co-Chair of MPARWG.**

- bsilberg@medscapeinc.com

**Evaluating our Web Presence: Challenges, Metrics, Results **

## Medscape today

- Six years old (May 1995)
- 3.4 MM members worldwide
- 560,000 + physicians
- 30 specialty sites/interest areas
- 600K to 1MM page views/daily
- Two indexed e journals
- 16K+ hours of CME/CE monthly

## Then (say, 1998)

- Cool ideas
- Receptive markets
- Lots of meetings
- “The old rules don’t apply”
- Dot-com boom

## Then

- When you come to a fork in the road, take it
- We’re lost, but we’re making good time
*---- Yogi Berra*

## Now (say, today)

- Focus
- Tight markets
- Business plans count
- ROI
- Dot-com? Dots-all-folks

## So what do we know?

- The Web is transforming
- Not all ideas are good
- Not all good ideas should be pursued
- This will take some time
- Metrics matter

## Consumers seeking health info

**Source: CyberDialogue, 2000**

## Physician use of the Net

- Numbers are growing
- Numbers still lag hard sciences
- “Killer app” yet to be demonstrated
- Concerns about privacy, info overload
- Not yet a standard clinical tool

- Increase value
- Commercial appeal

## Why metrics matter 

- Internal
- Mine the sight logs
- Agree on standardized reporting
- Pick the most relevant measures
- Balance strategic/operational

## Why metrics matter 

- External
- Measure effectiveness
- Compare performance
- Gauge reach
- Fix strategic value
- ROI

## Why metrics matter 

- External
- Compare sites (MediaMetrix)
- Validation (iPro)
- Monitor the market (CyberDialogue, PERQ/HCI)

## Challenges

- Technical issues
- Legal/regulatory issues
- Ethical issues
- Market issues

## Opportunities

- Share information globally
- Education
- Clinical value
- Measure utility
- Affect behavior/outcomes?

## 2010 Census Communications CampaignIndustry DayFebruary 17, 2006

## Census Overview

- Preston Jay Waite
- Associate Director for Decennial Census

## Why A Census?

- Constitutionally mandated for apportionment
- For over 200 years has provided a snapshot of the U.S. population and housing
- Provides data that help governments plan and allocate resources

## Big Project

- Must count everyone
- An estimated 309 million people
- 130 million households
- 50 states and DC
- 50+ different languages
- Puerto Rico and the Island Areas
- 4 time zones

## Big Price Tag

- Must contain costs
- Increase self-response
- Most cost effective way to conduct a census
- Reduce non-response follow-up
- Very expensive to send enumerators to each household not returning a questionnaire
- Encourage cooperation with enumerators
- Less expensive if enumerator only has to visit once

## Short Timeframe

- In less than 6 months, must count everyone
- Census Day is April 1, 2010
- Deliver apportionment count by  December 31, 2010

## On the Right Track

- Census 2000 was an overall success
- Halted trend of declining response rates
- Increased mail response rate
- Reduced undercount
- Still room for improvement

## 2010 Census

- Four Major Goals of Re-engineered 2010 Census
- Improve the relevance and timeliness of census long-form data
- Reduce operational risk
- Improve the accuracy of census coverage
- Contain costs

## To achieve it goals, the re-engineered 2010 Decennial Census Program has three highly integrated components

**ACS**

**2010 Census**

**MAF/TIGER**

## New Challenges

- Short-form only census requires a different kind of communications program
- How do you motivate residents to participate?
- How do you encourage cooperation with enumerators?
- How do you integrate the many components?

## Communications Can Help

- Provide unifying themes and messages
- Make residents aware of the Census
- Motivate self-response
- Encourage cooperation with enumerators
- Provide informational support for field operations

## Ultimate Success

- Count everybody
- Count them only once
- Count them in the right place
- Increase self-response
- Open doors for non-response follow-up

- Christine McLaren, Ph.D.
- Director, Biostatistics Core
- Yi-Cheng (Andrea) Hwang, MS, MBA
- Programmer Analyst
- February 20, 2004

- Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
- University of California, Irvine

## Current Status

- Clinical trial data is
- manually entered from paper records
- stored in various home-grown databases from various vendors (FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Access 97)
- In collaboration with NCICB, we are in the evaluation and planning stage of a migrating project.  Data will be entered into an Oracle Clinical environment hosted at the NCI.

## Data We Can Provide

- Data collected for the Chemoprevention Consortium (from medical records)
- Open trials in colon, prostate, oral, cervix
- Pending trials in melanoma
- Data collected from hypothesis driven investigator initiated (HDII) trials
- Treatment
- Diagnostic/screening
- Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reports
- Adverse event reports w/ narrative
- Protocol tracking data
- Patient registration databases
- Specimen tracking data and lab endpoints
- Additional basic science data

## Tools We Need

- For data to be hosted at NCI, we will need front-end tools for:
- Data entry
- Data extraction
- Reporting
- Protocol status tracking

## Tools We Need (con’t)

- We need enhanced tools for data entry:
- Remote Data Capture mechanism
- Easy-to-use CRF template library
- Enhanced adverse event reporting module to “standardize” the formats, vocabularies, etc. of AE reports
- Distributed patient registration mechanism
- We need a data extraction mechanism:
- Our Biostatistics Core will use SAS to analyze data extracted from Oracle Clinical
- We need more flexible, sophisticated analysis/reporting tools to:
- Answer day-to-day clinical questions on demand, (e.g., what patient is on what trial?)
- Generate patient-specific, patient-centered information on demand
- Indicate inconsistent data (i.e., highlight exceptions)
- Protocol tracking tool

## Capability to Evaluate the Tools

- To evaluate adopted tools, we have
- Data managers (~15)
- Laboratory staff
- Programmer Analyst
- Biostatistics Core

## System Integration

- Our immediate need is to devise methods to migrate our production clinical data from various types of databases into a centralized Oracle Clinical environment.
- Once done, larger system integration will be possible.

## Software Tools Validation

- We’ll consult with NCICB to learn from their C3D-S test plans and experiences.
- The data managers, lab staff and the programmer can validate:
- User Interface
- Work flow
- Our Biostatistics Core can provide data validation for accuracy.

## Going Forward

- We will actively participate in the on-line user forum, meetings, etc.
- We are eager to exchange information, knowledge and experiences related to clinical data management with our peer workspace members.

## Geobacter metallireducens

- Gram-negative rod
- Obligate anaerobe
- Preliminary genome sequence by the Joint Genome Institute
- Dissimilatory iron-reducing bacterium (uses iron as a terminal electron acceptor in place of oxygen)

## Geobacter Ecology

-  Ubiquitously found in a wide variety of aquatic sediments (both shallow and deep subsurface)
-  Found in both contaminated and pristine sites.
-  Contaminated sites include landfill leachate and petroleum-contaminated aquifers
-  Enrichment of native *Geobacter* populations occur in response to stimulation of Fe(III)-reducing conditions in natural aquifers

## Bioremediation Potential

- Bioreduction of soluble U(VI) to insoluble U(IV) by *Geobacter* represents a potential strategy for immobilization of uranium in contaminated sites (dissimilatory process)
- Other toxic metals which *Geobacter* can reduce include chromium, technetium and cobalt (note this is a non-dissimilatory process)

## Geobacter chemotaxis

** ****flagella and pili synthesis is induced by the presence of Fe(III) or Mn(IV) solids**
** ****displays chemotactic behavior towards soluble Fe(II) and Mn(II), with these reduced metals being released by the Fe(III) and Mn(IV) solids**

- Fe required >50 μM for continuous cultivation on nitrate

## Bloodborne Pathogens Refresher Training for Ground Team Members & Leaders

- Developed as part of the National Emergency Services Curriculum Project

##    What are Bloodborne Pathogens?

- BBPs are disease causing microorganisms that may be present in  human blood.  They may be transmitted with any exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material.
- Two pathogens of significance are Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

##  Exposure Prevention for Bloodborne Pathogens

- Engineering Controls
- Work Practice Controls
- Personal Protective Equipment
- Universal Precautions

##    Personal Protective Equipment

- Equipment provided by CAP at no cost to you, which it is to your advantage to use, and should be reported to supervisors when not in working order
- Latex gloves
- Masks
- Aprons,Gowns, or Tyvek suits
- Face shields

## Personal Protective Equipment Continued

- Whenever you need to wear a face mask, you must also wear eye protection
- When wearing personal glasses, you must use side shields and plan to decontaminate your glasses and side shields according to schedule

- Personal protective Equipment is acceptable if it prevents blood or other possible infectious material from contaminating work clothes, street clothes, undergarments, skin, eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes.

-    Personal Protective Equipment Continued

## What is wrong with this picture?

## Use your Personal Protective Equipment!

- Answer: Rubber Gloves were not worn for the patient survey

##    Universal Precautions

- The concept that all blood and certain body fluids are to be treated as if contaminated with HIV, HBV, or other BBPs
- Acceptable alternative is Body Substance Isolation: The treating of all fluids and substances as infectious
- Personal protective equipment like gloves and a mask must be used whenever you might be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials

## Materials Requiring Universal Precautions

- Blood
- Cerebrospinal fluid
- Synovial fluid
- Pleural fluid
- Any body fluid with visible blood
- Any unidentifiable body fluid
- Saliva from dental procedures

## Materials NOT Requiring Universal Precautions

- Feces
- Nasal secretions
- Sputum
- Sweat
- Tears
- Urine
- Vomitus
- If there is visible blood then all bets are off

## BBP Tasks

- General Emergency Services Personnel
- O-0901: Demonstrate knowledge of BBPs
- Ground Team Members
- O-0902: Exercise Universal Precautions
- Ground Team Leaders
- O-0903: Use a BBP Protective Suit

**Notes:**
The instructor should demonstrate each task and then test students as applicable.

## Purple Card

- Ron Sidwell

- Oct 29, 2001

## Purple Card Spec

- Two channels per printed circuit board
-   Size ~20 sq. in. or best effort, but see proposal from Leflat below.
- Voltage regulation of SVX4 power and board power. SVX4 voltage(s) will be controlled by HDI enable/disable. Power could be supplied via an 8-pin header. LEDs will indicate power status (on if LED is lit). Voltage regulator will be variable voltage version of ON regulator (part # CS5253B-1). Test points will be supplied to allow check of output voltages via well-shielded high impedance oscilloscope leads or DVM.

- Ron Sidwell

- Oct 29, 2001

## Purple Card Spec (2)

-  Temperature monitor(4 pin header): DC voltage out covering range -20 to 50 degrees centigrade. The target device is VMIC VMIVME3113 ADC, provides 8 bit digitization, and 64 inputs. Full range coverage is NOT mandatory. A temperature measurement of +-20C  is adequate. Assumed temperature measuring device is 1000 platinum RTD used in Run2a. Full range of Vout will be 0-1v, so that x10 gain mode of VMIC ADC will need to be used. Vout=0 will correspond to –20 degrees, Vout=+1V to +50 degrees.
- * 5) HV (silicon bias) supplied via a SHV connector, and controlled by HDI enable/disable from the SASEQ. HV is passed thru to the digital jumper cable. KSU will investigate how to control all silicon bias voltages up to 1000V, since the PVNs used in Run2a only work to 300v. KSU is investigating use of IGRTs for switching. The maximum HV current expected is 3.2mA.

- Ron Sidwell

- Oct 29, 2001

## Purple Card Spec (3)

-  CAL-SR: two LEMO connectors
- *  fuses on SVX4 power, and board power. KSU will investigate easily replaceable fuses (i.e. in fuseholder) and will continue to look for “fast” resettable fuses.
- * Dvalid delay provision; SIP
- *  clock conversion from TTL to low-voltage differential

- Ron Sidwell

- Oct 29, 2001

## Purple Card (cont.)

-  one input 50-conductor connector from SASEQ or sequencer
- *  two pairs of output connectors- digital jumper. (twisted pair option removed)
- Two positive power supplies will be needed:
-          +4v, ~4-8A for board and SVX4
-          +5v, low current, for HV switches.

- Ron Sidwell

- Oct 29, 2001

## Questions?

- 1)      Do we need to protect against scenarios where e.g the DVDD line has blown a fuse, but AVDD and the transceiver power are still enabled?
- 2) Layout- see comments from Leflat.

- Ron Sidwell

- Oct 29, 2001

## Leflat suggested layout

-             list of the front panel components (preliminary):
- 1       50-pin connector from SASEQ;
- 2.      Two AVX connectors for “jumper” cables;
- 3.      Two SHV connectors for detector biasing;
- 4.      Two LEMO-00 connectors for CAL-SR;
- 5.      Board Power (& SVX4 Power) 8-pin header;
- 6.      Temperature monitor 4-pin header;
- 7.      8 fuses [(AVDD,DVDD,+5V,+15V) x 2];
- 8.      10 LEDS [(AVDD,DVDD,+5V,+15V,HDI_ENABLE) x 2];
