RE: Thank You and a Follow-up Request from the National Science Foundation
Dear [COORDINATOR NAME]:
On behalf of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I would like to thank you for your assistance with the 2015 NSF-NIH Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS). We know this survey is one of your many duties and we appreciate your contribution to the successful completion of the 2015 GSS.
This year, we would like to ask you to complete a short survey regarding your experiences with the 2015 GSS, and your feedback about potential changes. Your responses are extremely important to improving the GSS, and the type of data available at your institution as we consider making changes to make the data more useful. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes.
Your login information for this survey is provided below. If it’s more convenient, you can start the survey and go back later to finish it at any time before August 8.
