        Web-Based Partnership Self-Assessment Tool

        What the Tool Measures
The Tool measures a key indicator of a successful collaborative process - the partnership's level of synergy. The Tool also provides information that helps partnerships take action to improve the collaborative process. It identifies the partnership's strengths and weaknesses in areas that are known to be related to synergy - leadership, efficiency, administration and management, and sufficiency of resources. It also measures partners' perspectives about the partnership's decision-making process, the benefits and drawbacks they experience as a result of participating in the partnership, and their overall satisfaction with the partnership.

Who Should Use the Tool
The Tool was designed to be used by partnerships for their own internal evaluation (it was not intended for use by external partnership evaluators). Although it is applicable to a broad range of partnerships, the Tool is not meant for partnerships at all stages of development or partnerships of all sizes. To use the Tool, a partnership needs to:

Have been in existence at least six months;
Be a group of people and organizations that continually work together to develop and modify strategies to achieve their goals;
Have begun to take action to implement its plans;
Have at least five active partners

        eTBLAST: A text similarity-based engine for searching literature collections

        eTBLAST is a unique search engine for searching biomedical literature. Our service is very different from PubMed. While PubMed searches for "keywords", our search engine lets you input an entire paragraph and returns MEDLINE abstracts that are similar to it. This is something like PubMed's "Related Articles" feature, only better because it runs on your unique set of interests. For example, input the abstract of an unpublished paper or a grant proposal into our engine, and with the touch of a button you'll be able to find every abstract in MEDLINE dealing with your topic. No more guessing whether your set of keywords has found all the right papers. No more sorting through hundreds of papers you don't care about to find the handful you were looking for--our search engine does it for you.
