Dear Dr. ___________:
As followup to a letter recently sent to you by Drs Keith Hoots and Simone Glynn of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), I would like to invite you to complete a questionnaire that provides your feedback on the Clinical Studies Support Center (CSSC) for NHLBI monitoring boards.
The questionnaire was developed with assistance from three of your monitoring board colleagues and received a public review as part of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance process. The questionnaire and data collection effort were approved by OMB on _______________ (OMB #___________). Completion of the questionnaire is voluntary. The questionnaire is expected to take no more than 15 minutes to complete. All information will be confidential, and no one will be identified in any reporting that takes place. The data will be especially useful to NHLBI in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations of all types of monitoring boards.
Below you will find a link to the questionnaire and a survey password. We ask that you complete the questionnaire by [DATE].
