Dear NAME:

There is still time to weigh in on the impact and relevance of NIOSH’s nanotechnology-related research.

NIOSH has contracted with the RAND Corporation to study how organizations are using its information to influence occupational safety and health. RAND will conduct this structured assessment of the contributions of NIOSH’s investment in nanotechnology-related research and its other related activities and your participation in this short survey can help inform the assessment.

Please visit [URL] to get started.

Your PIN code is [CODE] and can only be used by you to complete the survey.

We are conducting a survey with representatives from within industry. We identified your name and company through our research of publicly available information. We are hoping that you will be able to help us by providing some insight your familiarity with NIOSH products, how engineered nanomaterials are used at your organization, and information related to occupational safety and health regarding engineered nanomaterials.

The survey is voluntary and takes about 20 minutes to complete. The information you provide will be used for research purposes only, and will not be shared in any way that would identify you or your organization. We will keep the information you provide private and secure to the extent permitted by law.

For additional information about this project, or if you have any trouble completing the survey, please contact our project team at [PHONE NUMBER] or [EMAIL].

Thank you, in advance, for your help with this interesting and important research project.

Sincerely,

Dr. Eric Landree
