Responsibilities

Institutions ready to participate in the survey must submit the participation agreement, which stipulates the expectations, deliverables, and conditions of participating in the survey.

CBIE will request the contact details of the main collaborator at your institution, who will be responsible for communicating with CBIE. This person will ensure that the appropriate internal review process is followed at their institution, ensuring that the survey can be delivered to their respective student population. To ensure transparency, this agreement also clearly stipulates the intended use of the data, as well as the institution’s involvement, to ensure full consent and due diligence.
