Form 023 NASA DEVELOP End User Questionnaire - Survey #1

NASA DEVELOP Program

2018 End User Satisfaction Questionnaire

FINAL – 8/27/18 AM

Introduction

NASA is seeking feedback from end users on your experience with the DEVELOP Program. DEVELOP is a training and development program for individuals to gain experience applying Earth observations through 10-week interdisciplinary projects with state and local governments, nonprofits, and other organizations. More information on DEVELOP can be found at https://develop.larc.nasa.gov.

All submitted information is collected and processed by CFI Group, an independent research and consulting firm. When you finish the survey, your responses will be sent directly to a database located on a CFI Group server, which cannot be accessed through any NASA online system.

Your answers are voluntary, but your opinions are very important. Your responses will remain anonymous and will only be reported in aggregate. This survey is authorized by Office of Management and Budget Control No. 1090-0007, which expires on August 31, 2018.
