Arctic Rivers Summit - Post-summit survey questions
OMB Control Number: 1028-NEW
Expiration Date: xxxx
This evaluation is being conducted by the Arctic Rivers Project, Ryan Toohey, with the U.S. Geological Survey is the main contact (rtoohey@usgs.gov) for this evaluation.
We will collect information from stakeholders of the Arctic Rivers Project, which include representatives of Indigenous communities in Alaska, representatives of Indigenous organizations, State and Federal entities, and others regarding the effectiveness of participatory methods and achievement of overall project goals. Evaluation information will be collected via an online survey. Questions will focus on the relevancy of the project to participants, methods used to engage with participants, feedback about project components, input for the direction of the project, preferred communication methods, current and future use of project products. This information will allow for a greater understanding of the effectiveness of community engagement, the co-production process, and participation in the direction of the project. This information will help guide the project through its various phases, and it will help enhance communication and product development. We aim to share this information directly with participants in the project and the larger co-production of knowledge community through peer-reviewed publications and other science communication products.
We estimate that it will take an hour to complete the interview. Your responses will not be shared with anyone outside of the Arctic Rivers Project team, but may be anonymized, aggregated, and published in a future report or journal article. We will share the survey results with you and will be sure to get permission if we would like to include direct quotes in any way. We thank you for your time!
