Subject: Views of TCGA researchers and collaborators for NCI survey

Hi [Firstname] [Lastname],

You are receiving this message because you were selected to participate in a survey for the National Cancer Institute (NCI). As someone involved with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), you have been identified by NCI as a member of the research field whose views are critical to understanding a related NCI-funded program: the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC).

NCI has retained Westat, an independent research organization, to conduct a survey of TCGA researchers as users or potential users of CPTAC resources. Participation in this survey is voluntary, but your views are important and we hope you will complete it even if you know little about CPTAC. All data will be reported to NCI in aggregate form. No reports will contain findings linked to individual respondents or institutions.

Regardless of your level of familiarity with CPTAC, please click on the link below to take the short online survey about the program. We estimate that it will take less than 10 minutes.

Here is a link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7ZeX430pg8ljYjajbS_2bXng_3d_3d

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
