To optimize recruitment efforts, I built an application called Sherlock (Jan 2013) to streamline child recruitment for research studies seeking participants between the ages of 6 months and 14 years.

This tool saved our department $ in operating expenses by:

  1. Reducing time for manual phone/address searches by staff, 
  2. Increasing recruitment hit efficiency, and;
  3. Reduced department mailing waste.
