The Center for Innovation in Intensive Longitudinal Studies (CIILS)

PROJECT SUMMARY The Intensive Longitudinal Behavior Network (ILHBN) provides an unprecedented opportunity to advance and shape the future landscape of health behavior science and related intervention practice. The Center for Innovation in Intensive Longitudinal Studies (CIILS), housed at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), brings together an interdisciplinary team to synergistically support and coordinate research activities across a diverse portfolio of anticipated U01 projects to accomplish the Network's larger goal of sustained innovation in the use of intensive longitudinal data (ILD) and associated methods in the study of health behavior change and health-related interventions. The proposed administrative supplement will provide CIILS with a one-year extension with funds to continue coordination of ILHBN activities, and enhance the collective impacts of the Network by accomplishing the following aims. First, we will continue to manage all administrative and regulatory aspects of ILHBN. Second, we will collaborate with the U01 sites to synergistically advance the science of health behavior theory and intervention practice by helping to compile, curate, harmonize, share, and analyze data pooled across several parent projects to address common cross-study questions of interest. Third, we will lead a cross-study project to explore missing data patterns and modeling methods for self-report affect and sensor-based movement data.
