Fast Track for NIBIB Website Survey

Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB#: 0925-0648 Exp. Date: 05/2021)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

NIBIB Website Survey for Website Satisfaction Rating

PURPOSE:

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) wishes to collect feedback on user satisfaction with its website (https://www.nibib.nih.gov). The NIBIB site provides information about research on medical technologies to scientists, the public, and grantees. Qualitative customer feedback on the NIBIB site will help us better understand who is visiting the site so we can create more and improved content for those audiences.

The website survey will collect satisfaction data via five questions (see attached PDF NIBIB Site Survey Questions). The conciseness of the survey increases the chance of participation and completion. The information from this survey will be used to improve the design and operation of the publicly accessed website.

Along with this form, we have submitted screenshots of what the survey will look like on the site (see attached PDF NIBIB Survey Workflow and Questions). We will display the OMB burden statement on our privacy policy page: https://www.nibib.nih.gov/policies#privacy (see attached PDF NIBIB Privacy Policy for what this will look like) and will include links to this page from the survey. We have also submitted a list of all the pages the survey will be on (see attached spreadsheet NIBIB Pages for Site Survey).
