User Feedback Survey

OMB No.: 0925-0743

Expiration Date:  June 30, 2019
Collection of this information is authorized by The Public Health Service Act, Section 413 [285a-2]. Rights of study participants are protected by The Privacy Act of 1974. Participation is voluntary, and there are no penalties for not participating or withdrawing from the study at any time. Refusal to participate will not affect your benefits in any way. The information collected in this study will be kept private to the extent provided by law.  Names and other identifiers will not appear in any report of the study. Information provided will be combined for all study participants and reported as summaries.  You are being contacted by email, on-line, during live presentations to complete this instrument so that we can understand the utility and usefulness of the Cancer Genomics Cloud Pilots and determine how to proceed with these platforms in future.

 
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: NIH, Project Clearance Branch, 6705 Rockledge Drive, MSC 7974, Bethesda, MD 20892-7974, ATTN: PRA (0925-XXXX).

The system improved my ability to store my analysis results/provenance in a reproducible manner so that the same method could be used with other data.
The system improved my ability to correlate patient’s molecular data with clinical data.
The system made it possible for me to run analyses which would have been difficult or time consuming otherwise.
My research benefited from insights I gained while using the system.
