Principal Investigator: Gerad O'Shea,

Dear Mr. O’Shea,

I am familiar with your research project entitled Digital Nutrition Education Materials for Middle School. I understand that Michael Cohen Group and Applied Curiosity Research are conducting research on behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. I understand that the study will involve teachers piloting educational materials as well as one 45-minute focus group of teachers and two focus groups of students from my school. I understand that this requires a quiet space in the school for approximately four hours within the school day or after school. I understand that my school will be provided with a $150 facility fee, and each teacher will receive a $75 incentive.

As the principal of <<SCHOOL NAME>>, I confirm that the school grants permission for the proposed research to be conducted with teachers in our school.

I understand that this research will be carried out following sound ethical principles and that participant involvement in this research study is strictly voluntary and provides privacy of research data, as described in the protocol.

Sincerely,
