To propose a survey of our organization’s instructor membership, please submit a concise proposal outlining your project. All survey proposals must meet the following guidelines:

1. Sample
   • Only instructors that are EENE members will be surveyed.
   • No students are involved.
   • IRB approval (of any kind) is not needed.
2. Usage
   • Survey responses can be used to inform future research questions/proposals.
   • Anonymized responses can be used as motivation for future research but cannot be used directly in an academic paper without IRB approval.
