Dear Colleague:
Thank you for volunteering to participate in an interview regarding CDC’s laboratory training and professional development offerings. By sharing your thoughts and experiences, you will help us improve CDC’s portfolio of laboratory training and other professional development resources.
We are conducting individual interviews via telephone (or in-person if that is more convenient for the participant) between April – June 2019. The interview will be recorded with your permission to verify the accuracy of our project team’s notes. Once the notes are deemed accurate, the audio recording will be destroyed. The notes will be de-identified as an additional confidentiality measure. Your name and other identifying information will not be linked to your responses.
Please complete the attached pre-interview questionnaire and email your responses by [MONTH, DAY] to Amy Hoying at AHoying@cdc.gov. Once we receive your responses, we will let you know whether you have been selected to participate in an interview and we will reach out to you for scheduling. Please feel free to contact Amy with any questions you may have about the interview or the questionnaire.
Thank you,
