[Letter to be sent (via email) by [name of NCI person]
Dear Dr [PQ applicant name]:
In Fiscal Year 2011, the National Cancer Institute ( NCI) launched the Provocative Questions (PQ) Initiative to encourage research in areas of cancer research determined to be under-studied, neglected, paradoxical, or difficult to address in the past due to lack of appropriate technology.
The Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CSSI) within the NCI is now undertaking an assessment of the PQ Initiative. We are conducting this assessment to: (1) better understand the effectiveness of the PQ question development approach; (2) other aspects of the PQ grants process such as application, review, management, and reporting; (3) research findings resulting from the PQ Initiative and (4) public and scientific community attention/interest in the PQ Initiative.
To assist in the assessment, NCI/CSSI has contracted with The Madrillon Group. The assessment involves information collection from multiple sources including an online survey of Principal Investigators receiving R01 or R21 funding through the PQ Initiative. I am asking you to support our assessment efforts by completing this online survey. Your participation should take no more than 15 minutes, is voluntary, and will involve completing the web-based questionnaire by a specific date. Survey data from all respondents will be aggregated and presented in summary form. Individual responses will be kept secure as permitted by law.
Within the week, you will receive an e-mail invitation from The Madrillon Group with a link to the web-based survey.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. On behalf of CSSI, thank you for your consideration of this request to provide valuable input to the assessment efforts.
Sincerely,
[NCI CSSI Name]
