2. INTRODUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
You have received this survey, because your organization has one or more federal awards (grant or cooperative agreement) funded by
the Office of Population Affairs. If your organization has more than one OPA award, you will receive a separate survey for each grant.
The purpose of this survey is to assess your satisfaction with OPA grantee support, communications, and other resources. We are also
interested in your suggestions for how to improve the services, technical assistance (TA) products, and support from OPA and our
contactors. OPA plans to use the results of the survey for continuous quality improvement efforts, including more effective customer
service and to identify areas for improvement.
INSTRUCTIONS
If you have more than one federal award from OPA, please complete a separate survey for each grant project. Feel free to consult with
others within your organization on each of your grant projects, but only submit one survey per grant.
Please answer questions as they relate to this past grant year.
Your participation is voluntary and confidential. You are encouraged to answer all questions but you may skip any item. Please provide
honest responses and complete information. Your participation is not associated with your grant project in that your responses will not
affect your current award or your eligibility for, or receipt of, future services or funding.
Do not put your name or organization’s name on the survey. Results will be reported to OPA in a manner that does not identify
information about an individual or an organization and to be used only for the purposes of continuous quality improvement. Aggregated
results may be used by OPA to share with selected stakeholders (e.g., grantees, federal partners) for the purposes of knowledge-sharing
and improving processes.
Please take the time to complete the entire survey. It should take about 20 minutes per grant project. If you have questions about this
survey, please email Dr. Suzanne Randolph Cunningham at opasurvey@mayatech.com.
Please submit your responses by [DATE/TIME]. Thank you for your participation.
Please submit your responses by [DATE xx, 2020] by 8:00 pm Eastern Time . Thank you for your participation.
