Dear AERA Members:

On June 6, AERA sent an invitation to all PIs and co-PIs of terminated grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) across fields of science and types of awards to provide information on the impact and consequences of these terminations.

We are reaching out now through our membership database to aim for a strong response from AERA members who are PIs and co-PIs of terminated grants. We are seeking a response by June 11, if possible.

Time is of the essence. If you received our June 6 email or a follow-up today, we ask that you respond to the survey and indicate that you are an AERA member. When you have completed the form, please remember to click “Done” on the “Thank You” page.

If you are a PI or co-PIs of a terminated NSF award and did not receive an email from AERA (govrelations@aera.net via SurveyMonkey), please contact us at govrelations@aera.net, with your NSF award number(s), to receive a unique survey link for each award.  

AERA is undertaking this important survey in conjunction with other scientific societies and groups. We are seeking to create a comprehensive database that documents the consequences of these NSF terminations.

Information provided will be confidential.

Thank you for your support of AERA and our field during these challenging times. If you have questions, also do not hesitate to contact me at govrelations@aera.net.

Sincerely,

Felice J. Levine, PhD (she/her)
