I'm looking for dads with children under 10 to help me with some research. It will involve watching two short videos online and then taking part in a phone call of around 20-30 minutes. Interviewees will be compensated with a ?20 Amazon voucher. Already have lots of mums taking part and need at least a couple of dads too. The organisation I am working for is a respected education and research institution, more details can be found in the survey. Responses will be confidential and anonymised. To enter your details and be eligible to take part in this research please take this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/J5KHDF6 Thank you! (PS admin I hope this is OK to post here, this is not commercial research and am based in ED. Did email to check but no reply. If you need to move it will understand)

Thanks, just veeery cautious about being perceived as spammy! But have posted there too.

(Repost from Lounge) Hi all, I'm recruiting parents for 30 minute telephone interviews, and need a few more. I can't say too much about what it's for at this stage, but safe to say it's not for some huge corporate organisation, will be anonymised, and it won't involve talking about anything very personal. In return for completed interviews, we are offering ?15 Amazon vouchers. If you're interested, please fill out this short survey to see if you fit the criteria and make sure to leave your email address at the end. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3JW87PG I'll be in touch if you've been selected. Feel free to share with others. Any questions let me know! Many thanks! Martha

Just realised this would of course be better posted in the family section. Ah well.

Thanks Admin, much appreciated. It's a fair way down now though, but I'm guessing a bump would be frowned upon. And thank you giggirl ;) SJ we are sort of like a low rent freemasons.

Tenner per post seems fair :) Can admin or anyone confirm if I am OK to post in the lounge, or if not where I should be? I'm guessing there is no way to reinstate my deleted posts? Thanks.

No worries, not taken personally :) Which is the right bit then, the business section? Or wanted? Last one was aimed at families so seemed to make sense to post there, and did think the Lounge would be best but will happily repost wherever it would be allowed.

Oh, just seen bit in terms of use about "Abuse of this site for commercial gain" which I guess you feel this would come under. Genuine apologies if it's seen this way, I'm not making any extra money for people who do the survey, I get paid either way to do the research, so didn't really think of it in those terms.

Um, I guess that's why my posts got deleted, I was trying to figure it out. Genuinely didn't realise I was doing the wrong thing, sorry! (And hello quids, we've actually met before in person at a poker game, but no hard feelings). I am indeed a freelancer, and getting paid for it (and a fairly long time forum member under a different name), but not sure I understand why this is bad? If it makes a difference, I do this for museums or educational organisations, not giant corporates looking to find better ways to flog you stuff. But mainly I just need lots of people to respond, and last time I got a great (and friendly) response from this forum and others, and people are usually quite happy to be interviewed afterwards and compensated for their time so I thought this was a good place to post. Of course I won't post again if it's against forum rules, I wouldn't have done so if I'd realised. Would be great if someone could explain why it is though, and which section I should have posted in. Thanks! Would rather you didn't ban me, though, ta.

Hi all, If you have some spare time this weekend or next week, would appreciate some help with this survey about online activities https://wellcome.typeform.com/to/VFAAaz. There is a chance to win a ?100 Amazon voucher, but also to be recruited for focus groups and interviews which would also include compensation (and catering!). Please do share around as well, need as many responses as possible. Many thanks! Martha

Hi all, All your responses were very helpful in developing the project, which was about creating a series of videos of science activities for families. Quite a few people asked to be notified when it was properly live, so just wanted to let you know that the series has now been launched on the Royal Institution's channel You can also find out more on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Ri.ExpeRimental?fref=ts. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks all for filling it in, very useful answers and feedback that will help develop the full series of videos. @newtoedf I'm not sure what the link at the end of the survey is but you can share the link in the original post above, thanks!

Hi all, I'm working on a project for a science organisation which needs some feedback from parents. Would be very grateful if you could take 10-15 minutes to fill out this survey and give your feedback on a pilot video. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MLXJ5N9 Many thanks in advance!
