(1) The earlier ATALM survey was administered to organizations that were already familiar with the organization and had a 32% response rate. The expectation of a 40% response rate is based on the specific administration to prior grant recipients combined with the organizational support of ATALM. Though possibly optimistic in light of current trends of declining response rates, this permits a relatively liberal estimate of potential cost to respondents. |
(2) Cost is based on average of Museum and Library Professionals of $27.87/hour |
