Attachment 3: Introductory and Follow-up Letters to Potential Survey Respondents


1. Introductory letter to respondents


Dear Dr. <LastName>,


The Science & Technology Policy Institute (STPI), a federally funded research and development center based in Washington DC, is conducting a survey of principal investigators on NSF-funded earthquake engineering awards on behalf of the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the survey is to assess the experiences and opinions of principal investigators on NSF-funded earthquake engineering awards.


As an investigator who has received research funding from NSF, we are requesting your participation in a survey about your experiences. Survey responses will be accepted until [insert date]. We understand that you are very busy and greatly appreciate your time and participation in this important evaluation.


If you believe you have received this message in error because you have never been a Principal Investigator on an NSF-funded earthquake engineering award, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact XXX so that we can ensure that you do not receive additional reminders.


For additional information about the study or the survey, or with questions or concerns about the survey, please contact STPI Project Director Brian Zuckerman at (202) 419-5485. If you have questions that you would like to address to NSF, please contact XXX.

Thank you and best regards,

 

The STPI Evaluation Team
