Welcome!
You have been selected to participate in the external assessment of the NIH/NIAID/DMID
Partnerships Program, which was initiated in 2002 to support product-focused research and
development activities. Your participation in the survey is voluntary and you are free to skip any
particular question you do not wish to answer for any reason.
You will receive no direct benefits from participating in the survey; however, your responses will
provide critical data that will be incorporated into a summary report generated by an independent
contractor for NIAID. All information obtained in the survey will be reported in aggregate. A
designated NIAID External Partnerships Committee of senior academic and industrial
scientists/developers will use the report to prepare a formal assessment of the program with
recommendations for future directions and activities. There are no foreseeable risks of participating
in this survey. The information you provide will be kept secure to the extent permitted by law.
The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. If you have received more than one
Partnerships award, please ensure that your responses are related to the award mentioned in your
survey invitation. If you are unable to finish the survey in a single sitting, you will be able to resume
the survey from the point where you stopped by selecting the link in the invitation email.
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important program assessment. If you have any
questions about the survey, please feel free to contact us.
