The Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research (OBSSR), Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health, is conducting a satisfaction survey of its Summer Research Training Institutes.

To accomplish these goals, we are inviting you and other institute trainees 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 will be greatly appreciated.
