E-Mail Reminder – PI Web Survey

Dear <NAME OF PI>:

I am contacting you today on behalf of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a reminder of our request for your participation in the PI Survey of the NIH Program on Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA). We expect the survey to take 30 minutes or less to complete.

The NIH is working with Westat, a nationally recognized independent research organization, to examine how the SEPA program is perceived and experienced by stakeholders directly involved in the program. As a PI of a SEPA project, your feedback is critical to understanding the program, its challenges, and successes.

Participation in the survey is voluntary, but your involvement will help ensure that SEPA and similar future efforts are successful. Information shared in the survey will be kept confidential to the extent provided by law. Data will be reported thematically in the aggregate and will exclude personal identifiers.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important study. If you agree to participate, please follow the following link to begin the survey:
