The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public workshop entitled ``Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy Assessments: Social Science Methodologies to Assess Goals Related to Knowledge.'' The purpose of the public workshop is to initiate constructive dialogue and information-sharing among regulators, researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, health care organizations, health care providers, and others from the general public about survey methodologies and instruments that can be used to evaluate patients' and health care providers' knowledge about the risks of drugs marketed with an approved Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS).

The thinking and language of marqueing is still largely tied to consumer products and does not work well for service industries. A more appropriate idea of the marque relates to the experience of products/ services/suppliers. Brand energy is an idea that fuses the idea of value creation and marque experience across the stakeholder system. This paper suggests that publicity research works best when put in the context of a clear framework of understanding of how the marque works in its entirety and the way in which publicity is expected to influence it. Publicity evaluation research needs to move away from major quantitative tracking surveys applying standard questions and standard methodologies and develop approaches and measures that reflect the way in which each marque actually works a...

The recent proliferation of e-learning development in the workplace has added an extra layer of complexity to course maintenance. There are now many more courses packaged into shorter, more highly focused segments to accommodate learners who want to pick and choose only the training topics that they really need. To make matters worse, today's blended learning solutions require numerous delivery methods, and some of those components, such as performance support systems, information repositories, online user guides, and others, are not even under our control. The truth is that even before blended learning became the norm for training in the workplace, course maintenance was often overlooked or even forgotten as a step in training development methodologies: The ADDIE process (analyze, desi...

This article addresses the development of entrepreneurial skills in academic and human service settings by reporting on a curriculum for teaching proposal writing for funded research and program development grants. The article includes a review of current challenges in preparing primarily female graduate students with skills needed for grant seeking in their careers in human services. A description of the proposal writing curriculum, teaching methodologies used, and outcomes obtained during the past six offerings of the course are described. In addition, preliminary evaluation data from a survey of a nonrandom sample of participants in the course (N=30) about their perceptions of the course and its utility are included. Lessons learned and implications for using the curriculum with othe...

The aim of the present paper is to model the vendor selection process in construction projects in Greece. The applied approach involves a multicriteria rating technique used for calculating a normalized economic bid for the alternatives (i.e. vendors) by determining a proposed multiplier coefficient. This technique uses two stage compromise programming procurement criteria and weights according to the relevant legislative framework for government procurement to provide a multicriteria value score for each vendor. The application of the approach is demonstrated by an illustrative example concerning the procurement of earthmoving equipment (i.e. bulldozer). The primary advantage of this approach is that it incorporates a degree of subjectivity into the evaluation process in compliance wit...
