| In addition to the rules stated above you must also meet
the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
Identify an Air Force need for the survey data
beyond your need to fulfill an academic requirement. |
|
|
Keep your sample size small. |
|
|
Your proposed survey also cannot duplicate
surveys already done at the Air Force level, e.g., retention, quality of
life surveys, etc. |

Our recommendation is to survey people within your own organization...with your commander’s approval, of course...and make it a subject over which your commander has control. Then, you don’t even need our approval (Ref AFI 36-2601AFI 36-2601, para 3.8). |
