Bryce Reeve

Bryce B. Reeve, PhD, is a Psychometrician and Program Director in the Outcomes Research Branch of the Applied Research Program, where he has worked since 2000. At NCI, he directs an active program to enhance the use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs, including health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and patient experiences with health care) in clinical research and practice to improve the quality of care for both pediatric and adult cancer patients. With a degree in quantitative psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his work at NCI is focused on enhancing PRO measures with innovative psychometric methodologies and integrating PRO data in cancer research and health care delivery to inform decision-making.

Dr. Reeve serves as a NIH Science Officer on the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Network. The PROMIS Network is in the process of building a public domain Web-based resource to dynamically administer, collect, and report data on key HRQOL domains relevant to a variety of chronic diseases. In 2004, he organized an international conference on applying item response theory and computerized-adaptive testing methodology to enhance HRQOL assessment. In September 2006, he organized an NCI-sponsored conference examining the value and challenges of integrating HRQOL in cancer clinical trials.

Dr. Reeve recently served in an elected position on the Board of Directors of the International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL). He also serves on NCI's Symptom Management and Health-Related Quality of Life Steering Committee and the Steering Committee of Assessing the Symptoms of Cancer using Patient-Reported Outcomes. He serves as a NCI Liaison on the Critical Path Institute's PRO Consortium Oncology Scoping Group, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) group on Patient Reported Outcomes and Behavioral Evidence.
