Dear Mr. John Doe:
The Internet, Doppler radar, and tumor detection are the results of U.S. government funding in research and education. The health, prosperity, welfare, and protection of people in the United States depend on the government’s investing wisely in research and education.
We are requesting your participation in the 2015 National Survey of College Graduates, which we are conducting for the National Science Foundation, an agency of the federal government mandated by Congress to study the education and occupations of the American people. This survey collects information from college graduates in all disciplines and at every stage of life. Academic researchers and government policymakers use these data to study the relationship between education and career opportunities. Students making decisions about their own education and career choices find this information valuable, as do individuals thinking about changing careers.
We would greatly appreciate your use of our online survey. The Census Bureau is using the Internet to collect information in an effort to conserve natural resources, save taxpayers’ money, and process your data more efficiently. To respond to this survey online, please:
