Dear [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME]:

Mathematica Policy Research will soon launch the RPG Cross-Site Evaluation partner survey. Mathematica is conducting the survey on behalf of the Children’s Bureau (CB) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. You have been selected to participate in the survey based on your organization’s work with [RPG_GRANT] on the RPG project, which you might recognize by the name [RPG_NAME]. Participation is voluntary; however, your participation is crucial to give CB a systematic picture of the characteristics of the staff and organizations implementing RPG-funded programs, the characteristics of partner organizations, partners’ relationships with the grantees and other collaborating organizations, and program implementation. The survey will take approximately 25 minutes. We will email you additional information, including instructions to access the survey, in a few weeks.

You were identified as a representative of [ORG_NAME] working with [RPG_GRANT]. If this information is incorrect, please reply to this email or call our team at 866-627-9538 so that we can update our records. You may also contact our team at any time if you have questions.

Thank you in advance for your participation,
