Dear Data Professionals,
Greetings! You are being invited to take part in a study on data curation, stewardship, and management because you are a critical agent as these roles are a part of your work. You must be age 18 or older to participate in the study. The information in this consent form is to help you decide if you want to be in this research study. Please take your time reading this form and contact the researcher to ask questions if there is anything you do not understand. The data obtained will help improve education and training in this area. Participation will entail completing a 15-20 minute long, anonymous survey. This study is being conducted by researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
If you choose to participate, you will follow the link:
The survey landing page will have more details. I know your time is valuable, but by taking around 15-20 minutes to participate in this study, you will provide data to improve institutional training opportunities and resources for RCR. There are not foreseeable risks greater than those encountered in everyday life involved with participating in this research.
You will be asked questions about data curation, stewardship, and management.
Your responses will be linked by a unique identifier for any analysis and no direct identifiers will be collected; however, all findings will be reported in the aggregate and any indirect identifiers will be removed prior to analysis through de-identification and anonymization.
I greatly appreciate your contribution to the study. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Chassanoff
