Graduate Student Survey - Biology Education Researcher at Portland State University

Hello,

I am a biology education researcher at Portland State University, and my lab is interested in hearing from graduate students in the life sciences regarding their experiences in graduate school.  We aim to gain broad representation of students from a diversity of institutions through responses to our GraduateStudentSurvey.    

If you have a graduate student listserv for your department, we would very much appreciate you considering sharing the below message with your students and anyone else who might be interested.  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. 

Thank you for your time and participation!

Best Regards,

Erin

If you have questions regarding your rights as a research participant, you may call the PSU Office for Research Integrity at (503) 725-2227 or 1(877) 480-4400. The ORI is the office that supports the PSU Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is a group of people from PSU and the community who provide independent oversight of safety and ethical issues related to research involving human participants.
