OBSSR E-mail Invitation to Participate in an Online Survey

Letter #1-CBPR PI Customer Satisfaction Survey (To be sent by OBSSR to introduce the survey)

Subject Line: Special Request to Participate in NIH Online Survey

Sent on behalf of Dr. Stephane Philogene

Dear [Colleague]:

The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a customer satisfaction survey of community-based participatory research (CBPR) NIH Principal Investigators (PIs). Over the past decade, OBSSR has actively supported and promoted the adoption of the CBPR approach throughout NIH. You are listed as the Principal Investigator for one of the CBPR grants actively funded during this period. The survey will examine the nature, structure, characteristics, and accomplishments of CBPR research and assess grantee satisfaction with the CBPR initiative. The goals of this survey are to increase knowledge about this approach and identify opportunities to improve the application of community-based participatory research principles and methods to advance scientific endeavors.

To accomplish these goals, we are inviting you and other CBPR Principle Investigators to complete a brief online survey. Our contractor, The Madrillon Group, Inc., will send you a link to the survey in the next few days. Your participation and prompt response will be greatly appreciated.

On behalf of OBSSR, thank you for your consideration of this request to provide valuable input.

Sincerely,

G. Stephane Philogene, Ph.D.

Deputy Director, Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research
