APPENDIX B-15. STUDY NOTIFICATION E-LETTER TO SELECTED SFSP SITES FROM SFSP SPONSOR


OMB Control Number: 0584-XXXX

Expiration Date: XX/XX/20XX



Dear [SFSP Site Director],


I am writing to tell you about an important research study of the summer meals program. The purpose of this study is to gather information to learn about how summer meal programs operate, challenges you may face, and useful training and resources. With your input, the information from this study will be used to help improve the summer meal program.


You will soon receive an email from someone at Westat, an independent research organization, asking you to participate in a short, 30-minute telephone interview for this research study. I strongly encourage you to participate in the interview, though your participation is voluntary.


You should know that the interview is not part of an audit or review and no one from our office or the State agency will join the call. Any information you provide will be kept private under the Privacy Act, to the extent required by law. Your decision about whether or not to participate will not affect your summer meals program in any way.


Next Steps

Someone from the research team will email you in the next week to answer any questions you may have, and to schedule the telephone interview.


If you have any questions about the study, please email the study team at [study email] or call them toll-free at [study phone number]. Attached is a Frequently Asked Questions fact sheet with more information about the study.

Sincerely,

[NAME AND TITLE OF SFSP SPONSOR]
