Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Genetic Screens

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Cancer

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

What is Cancer?

What is Cancer?

Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Overview of Microsoft Excel as a Data Analysis Tool

Overview of Microsoft Excel as a Data Analysis Tool

Microsoft Excel is a cornerstone tool for data analysis and statistical operations, offering a wide array of functionalities to manage, analyze, and visualize data efficiently. Recognized for its versatility, Excel facilitates the performance of basic to complex statistical operations, serving as an indispensable asset for analysts, researchers, and students alike. Excel's significance in data analysis emanates from its spreadsheet environment, where data can be organized in rows and...

Development of the Lymphatic System

Development of the Lymphatic System

The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Area of Science:

Public Health
Health Economics
Program Evaluation

Background:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) requires robust economic evaluations.
Existing desktop instruments for cost data collection had limitations.
A need existed for an improved, accessible method to gather CRCCP grantee expenditure data.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a web-based Cost Assessment Tool (CAT) for collecting economic data from CRCCP grantees.
To improve upon previous desktop-based cost data collection methods.
To analyze cost data and identify areas for future tool refinement.

Main Methods:

Developed a web-based Cost Assessment Tool (CAT).
Collected 5 years (2009-2014) of cost data from 29 CRCCP grantees.
Analyzed funding distribution, budget categories, activity costs, and screening provision, comparing grantees with and without non-CDC funding.

Main Results:

The CDC provided the majority (85.6%) of CRCCP resources, with smaller contributions from in-kind sources (7.8%) and other funding (6.6%).
Grantees allocated approximately 95% of expenditures to specific program activities.
Non-CDC funds facilitated additional screenings, which were successfully captured by the CAT.

Conclusions:

A web-based CAT is a viable and effective tool for collecting cost data on CRCCP activities.
The tool successfully captured expenditures from various funding streams, including non-CDC sources.
Future refinements should focus on optimizing the collection and allocation of funds from diverse sources beyond the CDC.
