tools & spreadsheet programs
RESIST Group members create advanced spreadsheets using VBA language for use in their research. We also share these freely with the community to contribute to other studies. You may review the getting started videos to determine their fit into your research. Download links are also provided below. We hope that you will find these tools useful.
