Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: NIGMS Audience Survey


PURPOSE:


The primary research question driving this effort is to understand:

  • Who are the NIGMS audiences?

  • What are the information and resource needs of each audience?


The goals of the audience analysis are to:

  • Understand the type of audiences currently utilizing NIGMS resources.

  • Determine the types and formats of information/topics and communication channels that would best serve NIGMS audiences.

  • Identify areas for improvement according to followers.

  • Determine if there are key audiences that NIGMS should be reaching that it is currently not.

The scope of respondents will be expanded through requests for internal NIGMS staff to share the survey with their contacts (grantees, trainees), and for the NIGMS director to share with Institute staff. Additionally, survey promotion in Newswise, as well as promotion to external stakeholders, such as professional societies connected with NIGMS, will expand the pool of potential respondents.
