INSPIRE

Penn State Prevention Research Center and Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Penn State

INSPIRE is web-based software which provides integrated platform for a variety of applications including evidence-based prevention programs in schools, communities, as well as healthcare industry. INSPIRE is designed to be used by “change agent” organizations – those organizations that support the adoption and continuous improvement of evidence based programs, practices, and policies. Multiple stakeholders would interact with the INSPIRE, but technical assistance providers and university-based research and practice centers are the primary users.

INSPIRE integrates data from existing systems (e.g., school records, census, etc.), allows for original custom digital data collection, and makes data immediately available. Thus, INSPIRE can creates a virtual environment where diverse stakeholders can access the specific data and information they need to take productive action and assume collective responsibility for change. Consequently, INSPIRE would allow for standardized data to be gathered from many institutions creating a rich data source for studying implementation and outcomes.
