Databases of implementation science measures and tools

Grid-Enabled Measures (GEM), sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, is a dynamic, interactive website that contains behavioral and social science measures organized by theoretical constructs. GEM enables researchers to collaborate with others, encourages the use of common measures, and facilitates the sharing of harmonized data.
