Parenting Resources Program Survey
OMB Control #0693-0033 | Expiration Date: 09/30/2025
Welcome to the Parenting Resources Program Survey!
The NIST’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Office (DEIO) has identified that supporting a hybrid
environment is important to NIST goals of diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
Sponsored by the NIST Director and the DEIO, ParentsNet will pilot the Parenting Resources Program to
give NIST staff access to virtual resources in support of their well-being.
You will be asked questions regarding topics of interest for educational materials online, private
webinars, and other virtual forms of support on important parenting topics.
The information gathered through this survey will be used to prepare the statement of work in the
procurement of services for the NIST Parenting Resources Program.
This is your opportunity to share your preferences among a variety of virtual services available in the
market to support parents in the workplace.
This survey takes approximately 10 minutes.
We appreciate your time and input.  Click NEXT to take the survey!
