2(A-H). Awardee Survey about TAC Respondent Contact Materials_6.5.23

As you know, NORC at the University of Chicago is conducting an evaluation on behalf of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to better understand the impact and implementation of program efforts to promote resiliency and mental health in the health workforce. As part of the evaluation, HRSA would like to understand Awardees’ experience with the training and technical assistance (TA) provided by the Workplace Change Collaborative (WCC) at George Washington University. Your organization’s feedback on the WCC is greatly valued and critical to guide TA for future HRSA programs that aim to reduce burnout and improve resiliency. The intent of the survey is to assess the trainings, TA activities, and other resources the WCC provided to support your organization and others in implementing grant-funded initiatives.

What are we being asked to do?

We invite your organization to complete the Awardee Survey about the Technical Assistance Center. To review the survey questions in advance or to print the survey questions out as a Word document for reference, go to [http://TACsurveyfaqs.norc.org] or email NORC at [helpdeskemail@norc.org]. You may want to collect information from your team to answer the survey questions. Only submit one final survey response per organization.

It should take about 15 minutes to input your team’s responses into the online survey. We understand that your time is valuable; you will be able to save your responses and come back to the survey if needed. Alternatively, you can fax a printed copy of the completed survey responses and [PIN/ID] to NORC at [8XX-XXX-XXXX ATTN: NORC HRSA PROVIDER RESILIENCY SURVEY].

Completing the survey is very important for future TA.

You can access the secure survey here: [LINK/PIN]

Why should we participate?

Your organization’s experience with the WCC is an essential part of our evaluation. We want to make sure the WCC is meeting your needs and that their support is making an impact on the programming overall. Hearing your team’s perspective is important, so we strongly encourage you to respond to the NORC survey in the next week.

Will our answers be kept private?

Yes, your organization’s answers to the survey will be kept private. NORC designed the survey and programmed it on NORC software. Your responses will go directly to NORC. Your name and organization will not be associated with any information sent to HRSA. NORC will only share aggregated data to keep all responses private.

What if we have questions?

If your team has any questions about the survey, please visit our frequently asked questions (FAQs) at [http://surveyfaqs.norc.org], email the NORC survey support team at [helpdeskemailaddress@norc.org], or call [8XX-XXX-XXXX].
