Fwd: Seeking Study Participants with Vision Impairment

Seeking Study Participants with Vision Impairment

> Good afternoon.
> 
> My name is Margie Torres Nowlin, and I am a doctoral student in an educational leadership program at Lamar University in Texas. I currently teach high school mathematics and formerly taught mathematics at the college level. I am conducting research to better understand the accessibility of Science, Technology, and Engineering (STEM) courses through the perspectives of vision impaired higher education students. 
>  
> I am requesting your assistance in recruiting participants for this study because, as a leader in the National Federation of the Blind, you recognize the importance of the accessibility of higher education for the vision impaired and most likely have relationships with potential participants. All participants will remain anonymous, and no contact information will be shared with others. The study has been approved by the Lamar Institutional Review Board. For questions or concerns, please contact Lamar University Institutional Review Board at rspa at lamar.edu or 409-880-2272. When asking questions about the study, please be sure to reference my name and study title (Accessibility of Higher Education STEM Courses: Perspectives of Vision Impaired Students).  
>  
> If you agree to assist, you will be asked to either provide potential participant contact information or to forward a screening questionnaire to potential participants. The initial questionnaire serves as a way for me to form a homogeneous group of individuals who have recent experience in a higher education STEM course. The link follows https://forms.gle/SttUgQC8QDbEkUSm6 
> 
> A pdf file is also attached if you feel it would be easier for participants to email me their responses or call me by phone. 
> 
> Individuals completing the survey will have a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. Selected individuals will be sent further information and a consent form to participate in an interview and will be entered into a second drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card.  
>  
> I appreciate any assistance you can provide and/or contact information for other individuals who may be able to assist. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. 
>  
> Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I appreciate your assistance with my research and look forward to your response. You may reply to this email or call me at 817-999-2535.
