NCWIT offers a consultation service in which alliance members can discuss their specific plans and programs one-on-one with a member of the Social Science Advisory Board (SSAB). The NCWIT SSAB is made up of social scientists with a wide range of expertise relevant to NCWIT Alliances' initiatives.
The service is free to alliance members and supports up to two hours of telephone consultation.
This short questionnaire will serve as an initial request for consultation. Once we have received your basic information via this questionnaire, you will be contacted by an NCWIT staff member to verify the specifics of your needs and to set up the consultation. Please be sure to provide your contact information.
First, you will be asked to choose one of the following broad categories (bolded). For your reference, more detailed subcategories are listed below each broad category. In the next question, you will be asked to choose the most appropriate subcategory.
