The ARMS-D is a brief, easily administered, and validated patient survey to assess adherence to diabetes medications. It can detect non-adherence and specific reasons for non-adherence. Given the magnitude of the problem of non-adherence to diabetes medications, this instrument has application in research (observational and clinical trials) and clinical practice.

VANDPIRE is an intuitive and comprehensive software for quantifying cerebral blood flow (CBF) and calculating CBF territories based upon arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI data. CBF analysis, particularly CBF territory analysis, is time-consuming and requires an advanced knowledge of scripting and up-to-date mathematical models. As a result, many researchers who are interested in performing such analyses are unable to do so.

Marker Enrichment Modeling (MEM) software is a quantitative system for objectively labeling and characterizing complex cell populations by quantifying feature enrichment and reporting a text label. MEM label reporting provides a new way to objectively and quantitatively communicate cell type in studies of complex, dynamic tissue microenvironments, such as stem cell niches, immune responses, and human tumors.

The beta version of Play Nicely's multimedia program is now available for public viewing at beta.playnicely.org. We invite you to take a look and send us your feedback at seth.scholer@vumc.org. Your input is valuable in helping us improve the program. 

BCL::Commons™ (also known as the BioChemistry Library Project) is an object oriented C++ programming library. The library is designed to simulate biological molecules – proteins and peptides in particular – as well as small chemicals such as therapeutics. It comprises mathematical methods to evaluate the energy of these molecules in their natural environment.

The SENSE Theatre® Manual is the introduction, guide, and instruction manual to incorporating theatre and behavioral techniques to improve social skills in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The novel approach utilizes established behavioral methods in combination with theatrical techniques delivered in a supportive, peer-mediated, and community-based intervention.

Update (06/23/2026): MFA Suite has new updates for: INCA, ETA and PIRAMID.   

The MFA Suite™ (Metabolic Flux Analysis Suite) is a software toolkit providing a powerful approach for quantifying the rates, or “fluxes”, of intracellular metabolic pathways.  The information generated from the MFA Suite of tools is useful for identifying pathway bottlenecks, elucidating network regulation, and quantifying the flow or fate of carbon within a biological system. By systematically accounting for all extracellular carbon inputs and outputs and all major intracellular pathways, MFA can be used to reconstruct comprehensive flux maps depicting cell metabolism.

Vanderbilt University’s Center for Global Democracy (CGD) is a premier social science institute dedicated to advancing the understanding of how democracies emerge, function, and evolve. Through research grounded in the highest standards of scientific rigor, CGD examines how mass publics perceive, experience, and support democratic governance, while also generating insights that inform policy innovation to strengthen democracy worldwide.

TagDock is an efficient rigid body molecular docking algorithm that generates three-dimensional models of oligomeric biomolecular complexes in instances where there is limited experimental restraint data to guide the docking calculations. Through “distance difference analysis” TagDock additionally recommends followup experiments to further discriminate  divergent (score-degenerate) clusters of TagDock’s initial solution models.
