Done

Administrivia

  • Submitted protocol amendment to IRB on April 14. No word yet.

Data Collection

  • Discovered several people are unable to see rendered scores in the Qualtrics survey.
  • Developed alternative submission front end, dubbed "Surveyor."
  • Worked with dxSurvey developer to define a back end in his Microsoft Azure service. It fear this runs afoul of University policy on using a survey vendors with whom we do not have a formal business associate agreement. (See Section I, Subsection H.) This is unfortunate because this is the easiest path to an end-to-end solution.
  • Defined my own alternative database back end in the AWS cloud. As I read it, the policy should allow this.

     Doing

    1. Trying to build a web service interface between the front and back ends of Surveyor.
    2. Drafting email to send to subjects as reminder and to describe the new path forward.

    Struggling

    • Worried about the IRB.
