pdfSEES PI Survey 11 September 2015
INTRODUCTION
The following survey is designed to gather information on the Science, Engineering, and Education
for Sustainability (SEES) portfolio of programs. You have been selected to respond to this survey
because of your current or previous work with a project funded under the SEES initiative, or
because of your current or previous work with a project funded from an NSF program similar to the
SEES portfolio of programs. The information you provide in this survey will be used to inform the
evaluation of SEES.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your responses to the survey will be kept confidential. Data will be reported in aggregate, and
individuals will not be identified. Results from the survey will only be used for the purposes of this
evaluation.
FREEDOM TO WITHDRAW
Your participation in this evaluation study is completely voluntary. You may skip any question that
is asked and you may withdraw from the survey at any time by clicking the 'Exit this survey' button
at the top of each page. Please note: your answers will not be saved if you exit the survey.
BENEFITS
The results will help NSF assess the success of SEES in terms of developing new knowledge and
concepts that advance the over-arching goals of developing a sustainable human future, facilitating
new and productive connections between researchers in a range of disciplines, and developing a
workforce capable of meeting sustainability challenges. In particular, this survey will help the
evaluation team better understand how SEES and comparable non-SEES projects compare in terms
of their project-level characteristics, team compositions, public outreach, research outputs, and
contributions to the development of a science and engineering workforce.
The survey is being conducted by Manhattan Strategy Group (MSG), an independent research firm
under contract to NSF.
PRIVACY CONSIDERATIONS
We will treat the information that you supply in a manner that carefully protects your privacy, in
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, and other applicable statutes. We will
NOT present results in any way that would permit them to be identified with you or any other
specific individual. No personally identifiable information--such as name, project title, collaborator
names, collaborator information, or employment history--will be disclosed to anyone outside the
evaluation team.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have any questions about the survey, please feel free to email the Project Manager, Ying

4. Would you have been able to carry out your project as planned if you were not awarded NSF funding?
Yes, there were other programs or Directorates within NSF that could have funded my project as planned.
Yes, there were other agencies or funding bodies outside NSF that could have funded my project as planned.
Maybe, other programs or Directorates within NSF could have funded my project, but parts of the project plan would have
changed.
Maybe, other agencies or funding bodies outside NSF could have funded my project, but parts of the project plan would have
changed.
No, there were no other programs or Directorates within NSF , nor were there any other agencies or funding bodies outside
NSF, that could have funded my project as planned.
No, there were no other programs or Directorates within NSF , nor were there any other agencies or funding bodies outside NSF,
that could have funded my project as planned—even if parts of the project plan were changed.
