About the GeoMed Project

In 1998 the University of Michigan (represented by Dr. Mark Wilson) and software company BioMedware (represented by Dr. Geoffrey Jacquez) received a grant funded by the Small business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) program of the National Cancer Institute. The objectives of this grant are
  1. to produce software for surveillance and analysis of disease clusters, local spatial autocorrelation statistics, and related techniques (GeoMed), and
  2. to prepare and evaluate educational modules for teaching spatial analytic theory and methods applied to human health data, and to use those modules in the classroom (in a course we call Spatial Epidemiology).

This web site serves as the means by which we share our educational modules and other teaching materials. It also demonstrates how we have used those modules ourselves in our course.

If you have something to contribute, please feel free to contact us! We want to serve as a central resource for information on spatial analysis.
