How's My Pi? |
|
Welcome to the “How’s my PI?” study web site. The goal of this study is simple: We need to gather descriptive data about the climate of scientific research labs, and we need information about the people who run them—typically referred to as Principal Investigators, or PIs.
Our hope is to gather enough information to build an understanding of the factors that contribute to successful scientific research and positive research experiences. Our hope is to get information from members of scientific laboratories that span a wide range of experience (i.e., research assistants, graduate and undergraduate students, post docs, research scientists, research technicians, research fellows, Principal Investigators, etc.).
If you participate in the survey (which should take about 30 to 40 minutes) you will complete questions about 1) the climate in your lab, 2) your PIs social, emotional, and behavioral skills related to running a lab, and 3) some questions about yourself and your well-being.
We have designed the survey to be anonymous, except for participating in the iPad giveaway—we’ll need your email address for that. With that said, we will not share any individual-level data without first de-identifying the data so that neither you nor your PI should be identifiable. You are welcome to rate more than one PI if you like. Notably, we have some questions designed to make it clear when you are rating a specific target person/PI.
We have now revised the survey so that it will give you immediate feedback about where your PI scores on social, emotional, and behavioral skills, and where you score on well-being, and personality compared to other researchers. We will still enter you in a drawing to win one of two iPads if you participate.
