The data collection process (distributing the survey) is confidential, meaning the researcher (MSU Office for Survey Research) has a list of participants. The Office for Survey Research (OSR) stores this information securely and adheres to local, state, and federal laws to protect respondent’s confidentiality. When respondents submit their survey, the data is submitted anonymously, meaning any identifiable information (I.e., email address) is not part of the dataset. The Office for Survey Research will NOT share any confidential information with anyone within your unit, the EVPA or anyone else at MSU. No one except OSR will know who completed the survey and who did not, and OSR is contractually forbidden to share such information. Confidentiality is defined between the recipient and OSR.
Upon completion of the data collection, the database of employees is destroyed. The remaining data will then be analyzed by the Office for Survey Research who will provide EVPA with a written summary of the results. All results will be done in aggregate format, and no results will be shared that could incidentally identify any person or group of persons.
A huge thank you to the Climate Survey Team for their hardwork and efforts during each phase of the survey process. Your service to this team was instrumental for achieving success.
