Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: NIH ODSS STRIDES Initiative Baseline Survey


PURPOSE: The objective of this information collection is to assist the Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) in improving future services for the scientific research community. This survey will collect qualitative feedback and service delivery information from potential National Institutes of Health (NIH) extramural research users of Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability (STRIDES) Initiative infrastructure, tools and services. The STRIDES Initiative is one of many NIH-wide efforts to implement the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, which provides a roadmap for modernizing the NIH-funded biomedical data science ecosystem. The information collected from this survey will provide insights into customer needs, perceptions, experiences, and expectations and will be used to assess the areas for growth and improvement.


A portion of the survey’s questions are focused on researcher characteristics, such as whether or not the researcher works with sensitive data. The purpose of soliciting this information from respondents is to help ensure STRIDES users, those who have experience with the STRIDES Initiative or may have experience with the STRIDES Initiative in the future, have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience. For example, Question #6 asks whether respondents are working with sensitive data because we want to be sure that we are connecting them with the resources they need to architect their environment properly.
