David Cella

Research Statement: From 1987-1997, I built a clinical service and research program at Rush University with an emphasis on quality of life and outcome evaluation in cancer treatment research. I developed and am continually refining the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Measurement System for outcome evaluation in patients with chronic medical conditions. I have focused my career studying questions regarding quality of life measurement in clinical trials, cross-cultural equivalence of quality of life measurement, efficacy of psychosocial interventions in oncology, and medical outcomes research. I am the principal investigator of the statistical coordinating center for the NIH Roadmap Initiative to build a Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS). I am also the principal investigator of a contract to develop item banks for the clinical trials supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
