I’d like to thank you for your participation in the ORI Faculty Web Survey. On that questionnaire, you indicated we could contact you to conduct additional research following the survey.

For this study, the Office of Research Integrity contracted with Mathematica to conduct several interviews with faculty and students to learn about doctoral students’ training and education.

The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0990- . The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average ( 2 hours) per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, OS/OCIO/PRA, 200 Independence Ave., S.W., Suite 537-H, Washington D.C. 20201, Attention: PRA Reports Clearance Officer

As a token of our appreciation, participants will receive $50 upon completing the interview, which will take about 1-1/2 to 2 hours in [FILL: MONTH].
