In order to facilitate ongoing and “real-time” learning, we request that each sustained collaboration complete this survey two years after implementation of a sustained collaboration agreement. Data will only be shared in aggregate.

Our intention is to create a learning process that seeks your input while respecting your time. The purpose of the survey is to help us evaluate the impact of the initiative. The survey is NOT an assessment of your organization--the focus is on learning about the NSI process in general in order to improve future NSI efforts.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Carrie Harlow at carrie@nsifund.org. Thank you in advance for your time, participation and valuable feedback!
