Welcome!

The Macro Adoption Team are delighted to announce that the Macro Adoption Project is now reaching the widest BIM community to recruit Study Coordinators (SC) worldwide for data collection campaigns. We are looking forward to working with colleagues and collaborators from every continent. For more information about the eligibility criteria, please read this page.

The Macro Adoption Project has three types of complementary Macro Adoption Studies for which we are looking to recruit study coordinators:

Study Types

After we capture this data, we will generate free reports and interactive online dashboards that will provide policymakers with a global view of BIM adoption trends and the many lessons to be learned from different markets and regions.

Organisation

Study Coordinators are individuals representing a public organisation, a university, or a not-for-profit association or community group. As a study coordinator, you are part of a Region Team Organisation (see Figure). You will vet and invite Study Participants to take part in the studies and work directly with your Region Liaison. You may undertake one or more Study Types and also act as the Region Liaison. The Region Liaison will be in direct contact with a Macro Adoption Team Member (Bilal Succar, Mohamad Kassem, Eduardo Toledo, Danny Murguia or Cristiane Magalhães).

Study Timeline

A Study Coordinator will manage a Study Type in four main stages according to the following timeline:

1. Stage 1: Preparation (8 weeks)
1. Accept the Collaboration Agreement
2. Review the relevant Study Protocol
3. Attend a start-up meeting with the project team members
4. Complete a dry-run study on the assessment platform
5. Identify potential study participants
2. Stage 2: Data Collection (4 weeks)
1. Launch the study (online campaign)
2. Follow-up with study participants
3. Close the study
3. Stage 3: Validation and Data Analysis (4 weeks)
1. Verify the data collected
2. Develop the data charts and explanatory texts
3. Generate a study summary and list of lessons learned
4. Stage 4: Publication (4 weeks)
1. Prepare study materials for publication
2. Publish the Study Report (based on pre-defined template)
3. Release of Study Results Package (report + raw data)

Becoming a Study Coordinator

Each Study Coordinator will lead a study in their own region. You can apply for one or more of the Study Types within your regions (a country, a region within a country or a set of countries). To become a Study Coordinator, you need to meet the Study Coordinator Profile and accept the terms of both the overall Collaboration Agreement and the relevant Study Protocols:

Study Coordinators List

Collaboration Agreement

The Collaboration Agreement (611in) clarifies the roles, rights, and responsibilities of the parties interested in conducting a study in the Macro Adoption Project. By signing this document the signatories agree to collaborate towards developing and delivering a Macro Assessment within a defined market, country, state, or region, in accordance with the BIMe Initiative General Principles and the sponsorship guidance provided in the Sponsorship Guide (901in).

Submitting an Expression of Interest

Multiple concurrent assessments will be conducted across world regions. This however relies on the active participation of capable Study Coordinators! If you are willing and able to represent your region as a Study Coordinator, please complete the Expression of Interest (EoI) form:
