[Nhcoll-l] Survey on use of collections in student research

[Jean Woods]

Greetings Nh-collers,

We would greatly appreciate a few minutes (8 to be exact) of your time to complete the survey below to help inform a project we're working on to develop the use of natural history collection data in undergraduate research experiences.  Thanks!

We have been awarded an NSF incubator grant designed to initiate a network of ecology and evolutionary biology educators (EEBE) and natural history collection professionals (NHCP) who are interested in using natural history collections in course-based undergraduate research.

As part of this grant, we want to understand the experience that EEBE have with natural history collections, and the experience NHCPs have conducting research with undergraduates.  I am writing to invite you to take part in a research survey designed to understand the breadth and depth of these experiences in your career.

The survey is completely voluntary, anonymous and has passed IRB review at Widener University. Participants should include educators, researchers, natural history collections professionals, post-docs and graduate students 18 years and older.  We estimate it will take approximately 8 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions about the survey, please email or contact us at jwoods at delmnh.org<mailto:jwoods at delmnh.org> or jlkrumm at widener.edu.

Sincerely yours,

Janice Krumm, Associate Professor of Biology, Widener University
