Alumni Discussion Guide for Qualitative Interviews

Phone Script

My name is ____ and I am with Camper Consulting. I am contacting you on behalf of NIST’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (or “SURF”) program. NIST has asked my firm to perform an independent assessment of the SURF program. Our contact at NIST is Susan Heller-Zeisler, Senior Academic Program Manager.

We would like to schedule a time with you to get your feedback about your experiences in the SURF program. Could you please suggest a few times that this would be possible for us to contact you, and also the best contact phone number to reach you?

Your comments will be kept completely anonymous and confidential. Your name will not be linked to your comments in any way. We are simply interested in hearing your candid feedback and experiences relating to the SURF program.

Thank you so much for your help,

Sincerely,

________
