Guys, what is the latest on the Rutgers research? Are we going to get anything out of it or has the research been abandoned?
Hi joelawerence,
Unfortunately, there will be no update about the Rutgers Study. It has been aborted, and, very predictably considering how scientific research works, no data or info will be given by Rutgers about what have been done in the few months it has been running. Even if we could have been handed the survey results, especially the written answers, it could have been impossible to make them available, because they were given on an anonymous basis, never to be published anywhere. It would have been completely against ethics to publish them, and Rutgers would not have given them anyway, knowing how important confidentiality is, and aware that they do not want any other legal problems related to this canceled study.
What is new is the new RFP on NORD website, so our 31,000$ grant will be awarded to another team, as soon as possible, so another POIS study will start.
