Dear Collection Managers,



Greetings! As collection managers you are critical agents in providing your perspectives on curation activities and reuse. The following survey assesses your curation background, perspectives on metadata, and informs the building of a machine-actionable research data cyberinfrastructure to increase data reuse. This study is being conducted by researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

If you choose to participate, you will follow the link:

Biocollections Managers<https://utk.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2gX4NJIdhWiLAMK>



The survey landing page will have more details. I know your time is valuable, but by taking around 20 minutes to participate in this study, you will provide the field with data to inform the understanding of the curation of biocollections.



There are not foreseeable risks greater than those encountered in everyday life involved with participating in this research.



You will be asked questions about job tasks related to managing collections.

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,

Bradley Wade Bishop, PhD
