[BIC-announce] BIC MRI User Survey

[Rick Hoge]

Dear MRI users,

On behalf of the MRI Unit, I am launching a survey to assess the needs 
and priorities of the user community.  The survey can be accessed at the 
following URL:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/96KNGSZ

Many of you have heard of various initiatives including upgrades to the 
3T, installation of a human 7T, re-activation of the animal MRI, and the 
decommissioning of the 1.5T.  In order to maximize the benefit (and 
minimize disruption) to all involved, your participation in the survey 
will be extremely important.

The survey has been designed so that both PIs and lab members can 
provide feedback.  I would ask that each PI who uses MRI time either 
complete the survey personally, or delegate an individual such as a lab 
manager to complete on their behalf. Other lab members like trainees and 
research assistants are also very welcome to provide input, but we ask 
that respondents indicate whether they answer on behalf of their 
group/PI, or personally, in the first question.

I initially wanted this to be very short, but given the importance of 
the MRI program and long time since the last formal survey, felt it was 
worth expanding to a total of 70 questions.  Any question may be 
bypassed, so if you find the survey arduous then feel free to simply 
skip questions that are not relevant to you.  However, the more 
information we can gather the better we will be able to serve your needs.

I would like to thank the members of the MRI team for helping to draft 
this survey, and the user community for taking the time to provide 
input.  I would also like to thank my Research Assistant, Santiago 
Paiva, who helped immensely in preparation of the web forms.

Rick
