Supplemental Digital Appendix 3: Alumni Survey

I recently received some exciting news: A number of previous MERC at CORD participants have gone on to subsequent projects with peers from the program. This development is a testament to your commitment toward education research. It is also one of our most important goals of the program. Congratulations to those who have taken this next step!

I’m in the process of gathering more information on your progress in this regard. This will only take a minute or two of your time and will help us immensely to better evaluate MERC at CORD! The information gleaned from this survey will be merged with the data I already have on hand.

Again, congratulations and thank you for taking the time to share this information.
