Guidelines for Reviewers
Note, because of the complicated skip patterns that will be programmed, the reviewer version of the survey, by necessity, requires that there be embedded among the questions notes documenting skip patterns, alternate wording of questions, and information about which respondents will receive a particular question. These programming notes appear in a small, blue, sans-serif font. Some questions also contain placeholders for text that varies depending on existing information (e.g., the start and end dates of a grant period) or a respondent’s answer to an earlier item. These placeholders appear as [BROWN CAPITALIZED TEXT] inside brackets.
The online survey will automatically incorporate skip patterns and present the appropriate text for placeholders and question wording to the respondent. Also note that boldface type is used for emphasis, while an asterisk (*) indicates that a roll-over definition is available to online respondents (see Glossary, below). Surveys will employ a variety of response structures and will be programmed to use radio buttons, checkboxes, text boxes, and drop down boxes. Examples of each are shown below.
Radio Buttons – Allow only one answer to a question. Click circle to select option. To change answer, click another button.
Are you currently employed?
-
Yes
No
Checkboxes – Allow multiple answers to a question. Click a box to select a response. Click a checked box to remove the choice.
Which of the following degrees you have completed? Check all that apply.
☐ Doctoral degree
☒ Master’s degree
☐ Post-baccalaureate certificate
☒ Bachelor's degree
Text boxes – Allows respondent to write answer to question within a box. The number inside brackets (i.e., the “2500” in [textbox, 2500]) indicates how many characters the respondent can enter into the textbox.
What is your job title and what do you do in your job? [textbox, 2500]
Drop down – Allows respondent to select one answer from a list of specified list of options. Respondents click on box, and then scroll to select option.
In what month and year did you complete your graduate degree?
Month: [Drop box]
Year: [Drop box]
Glossary
Foreign: When referring to individuals, ”foreign” means people who are based primarily in institutions or locations outside the U.S., regardless of their citizenship or country of origin. (In other words, “foreign” could refer to a U.S.-citizen who is primarily based at an institution outside the U.S.) When referring to places, “foreign” means countries or locations outside the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.
Institution: Typically refers to a university, college or other higher educational entity but may include a museum, private or governmental research institute, laboratory, foundation, non-profit or for-profit business, or other organization.
Placeholders
SURVEY_DATE / NOVEMBER 15, 2015: The first day that the survey is fielded will serve as a common reference date across respondents. November 15, 2014 is currently filled as a hypothetical survey fielding date. After OMB approval, this date will be replaced with the actual field date of the survey.
PIRE _PROJECT_NAME: The title of the PI’s or co-PI’s project funded by PIRE or the comparison program.
ABBREVIATED_PROJECT_NAME: Because project titles are often long, a shortened name will be introduced and substituted for the full title in survey questions.
AWARD_START_DATE: Date when the PIRE award period began, according to NSF records.
AWARD_END_DATE: Date when the PIRE award period ended (if applicable), according to NSF records. If a project is still active, the SURVEY_DATE will be used as the most recent reference date for questions.
PARTICIPATION_START_DATE: Collected during the survey, the date the respondent reports first engaging in project activities. Not all co-PIs, postdocs, graduate students or undergraduates begin their participation on the date when the award officially commences.
PARTICIPATION_END_DATE: Collected during the survey, the date the respondent reports last engaging in project activities. Not all co-PIs, postdocs, graduate students or undergraduates continue participating on the project until its official end date.
URL TO AWARD ABSTRACT: Hypertext link to the award abstract posted on nsf.gov
HIGHEST_DEGREE: Collected during the survey, the highest post-secondary degree the respondent has completed.
BA_INSTITUTION: Collected during the survey, the institution where respondent was enrolled for bachelor’s degree when she/he participated in the PIRE project.
BA_DEGREE_INSTITUTION: Collected during the survey, the institution where respondent completed bachelor’s degree if degree was not received from “[BA_INSTITUTION].”
BA_END_DATE: Collected during the survey, the date when those not currently enrolled as an undergraduate who did not complete bachelor’s degree were last enrolled for bachelor’s degree.
BA_START_DATE: Collected during the survey, the date when respondent first enrolled for bachelor’s degree during the time he/she participated in the PIRE project.
Survey of Undergraduate Participants in the National Science Foundation’s Partnerships in International Research and Education (PIRE) program
This survey is about your participation in research, educational activities or international travel funded by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) while you were an undergraduate. The researcher who received funding from NSF for the [PIRE_PROJECT_NAME] was required to identify people who did research, took part in educational activities, traveled to another country, or were affiliated in other ways with the project: you were listed as a participant. You can read about the project here: <URL TO AWARD ABSTRACT>, but this summary may or may not describe the project activities in which you participated. Even if you do not recognize the project, it is likely that you participated in an activity supported by this project.
None of the questions are of a sensitive nature, but you are free to skip any question you prefer not to answer. Researchers at Abt Associates (abtassociates.com) are conducting this survey as part of a study sponsored by the NSF.
Participation is voluntary. We will not reveal to NSF whether or not you participate in the survey. We will protect your privacy to the extent permissible by law by separating the responses you provide from your name, contact information and other personally identifiable information. Your survey results will be summarized along with the responses of others in aggregate statistical form only. We will give NSF data from survey respondents only after we have removed personally identifiable information about you.
Questions? See the Frequently Asked Questions page <FAQs>; or contact the study director, Carter Epstein of Abt Associates Inc. (toll-free: 1-800-XXX-XXX; email: [email protected]) or contact John Tsapogas at NSF, ([email protected]). For questions about participating in this research study, contact Abt’s Institutional Review Board (XXX-XXX-XXXX; email: [email protected]). This study’s IRB approval number is #XXXX.
