Abstract: The Teacher-At-Sea Program provides educators with the opportunit to participate in research projects aboard NOAA vessels. The respondents are educators who provide information about them- selves and their teaching situation and who submit a follow-up report with ideas for classroom applications. Recommendations are also required. This request is to revise the medical questionnaire to decrease the personally identifiable information required as well as delete several specific medical and lifestyle questions. A short section will be added with questions on fitness for residing aboard a ship at sea.
