Dear [FIRST],

I am writing to ask you to confirm or update your address information for a research project on the Health Profession Opportunity Grants Program (HPOG) being conducted by Abt Associates and its subcontractors for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

Recently, you applied to receive services through the Health Profession Opportunity Grants Program (HPOG) in your community or region. At that time, you agreed to participate in research that will help ACF evaluate the HPOG program. Thank you for agreeing to be part of this important study.

When you agreed to be in the study, you gave consent to participate in a follow-up survey for which you will receive $30 in appreciation for your time. However, if you move during the next few months, we might not be able to reach you. We want to make sure that we have your correct email and/or street address so we can contact you next year for the follow-up survey. To make sure that our records are accurate, please verify your contact information in one of the following ways:

1) You may email any changes to: HPOGxxx@abtassoc.com. On the subject line please indicate your unique PIN [userid]. If there are no changes to your contact information please write, “no changes” and the PIN [userid] in the subject line.

2) You may fill out the enclosed form with any updates to your phone number, address, or email and return it in the postage paid envelope. If there are no changes to the information provided, please simply check the box at the top of the form and return it in the postage paid envelope.

This information will help us greatly when we attempt to contact you and will only be used for that purpose. Your continuing participation in this study is very important and greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the HPOG study at toll-free 1-855-551-0919 or HPOGxxx@abtassoc.com. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Alan Werner, Ph.D.
