UCLA Higher Education Research Institute and National Institutes of Health Survey

The UCLA Higher Education Research Institute and the National Institutes of Health are very interested in your experiences as college students in introductory science courses.  Our class has been invited again to participate in the second part of this national study on the preparation of students for majors and research careers in the biological, biomedical, and behavioral sciences. As a participant, you also have a chance to win a $50 American Express Gift Card.

All you need to do is complete an on-line survey that is accessible at the following URL and will remain open until Friday, May 25:
https://www.snap-surveys.com/ucla/post/

The survey only takes around 20 minutes to complete.  Your responses will be confidential and have no relationship with your performance in this class. A prize winner from this class will be identified in late May.

We encourage you to complete this survey as your feedback will contribute to the national study and help inform educators and researchers on how best to design curricula and programs for students interested in the sciences.
