Resources for our community of researchers and practitioners working to improve health and reduce disparities throughout Northern California and the Central Valley
DREAMS-CDTR provides resources for our community of researchers and practitioners working to improve health and reduce disparities throughout Northern California and the Central Valley.
These resources are primarily methodological in nature, including biostatistical consulting and a survey and clinical instrument library. Access to recordings of an ongoing seminar series that provides insight into various aspects of the research, practice and policy of reducing diabetes disparities is available here.

Online methodological resources for members
Data/Metrics Resources for Diabetes Equity Research
The Geriatrics Research Instrument Library (GRIL) is a newly established website that provides a user-friendly resource to guide researchers in selecting instruments to assess and measure clinical outcomes relevant to older adults across a full range of domains. GRIL allows users to easily search, compare, and select research instruments based on their description, copyright information, completion time, available translations, and more.
GRIL currently contains over 175 instruments across 18 geriatric domains: Anxiety, Caregiver Burden, Cognition/Dementia, Delirium, Depression, Frailty, General Health Status/Quality of Life, Health Behaviors, Hearing, Medical Comorbidity, Medication Adherence, Pain, Physical Activity/Performance, Physical Disability, Resilience, Sleep, Social Support, and Vision.
GRIL was developed in collaboration with the AGING Initiative, Wake Forest University, and Yale Pepper Center.
