rOpenSci Champions Program 2023: Mentor Survey

Thank you for participating as a mentor during the inaugural cohort of the rOpenSci Champions Program. We are working with the Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement (CSCCE) to assess the impact that the program has had on rOpenSci Champions and their mentors. Your valuable input will help improve the program for next year.

Please take 10 minutes to complete this anonymous survey about the program. Only CSCCE staff and the rOpenSci program manager have access to the responses. CSCCE staff will aggregate and summarize the survey results in a report that will be shared with rOpenSci leadership, funders, and other program stakeholders.

We will also be in touch in the coming weeks to arrange a focus group discussion with other mentors to learn more about your experiences during the program.
