I suggest you define "NSF" or you will be limiting your responders. I am assuming/guessing that it’s the acronym for National Science Foundation.  Since I am not in that field I'm not completely sure.



We all fall into the trap of speaking and writing in the "lingo" of our field. I encourage you to not be caught - and wish you luck on your thesis!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] IMPORTANT SURVEY concerning NSF funding opportunities in museums



Dear Various Museum Professionals and Academics,



I am a museum studies graduate student at the University of Kansas, and I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK as part of my research thesis. The survey will only take five to ten minutes of your time.



I am examining the potential for using NSF funding – in particular, funding allocated to the NSF’s Broader Impacts clause – as a resource for funding museum programs. This research examines whether NSF funds can be easily implemented for museum programs, and designs potential avenues for corroboration between NSF Principal Investigators and museum professionals to develop public outreach programs that support and promote current research in history, archaeology, and the life sciences/ecology. Such corroboration has the potential for increasing public awareness and public support for both museums and the NSF.



Results from this survey will be used to build an understanding of current use of grants for public education, and whether NSF is currently considered as a viable resource by museum professionals. Your participation in this survey is VERY IMPORTANT to this study.



Please take a few minutes to fill out this *anonymous survey*: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MN8V5GH



Thank you in advance for your assistance!
