This is your survey, and your participation is invaluable. In 2015, the survey response rate was 74% for non-faculty employees, and we want to see that figure continue to rise.
This year's survey period is February 15-29, which is earlier than usual (more on that here). We hope to encourage greater participation by clarifying certain facts about the survey and sharing some insight into the process. Click here to read more about your privacy and how the survey results are used.
This survey is open to participation for all regular part-time and full-time employees. If you have yet to receive your code, please see your administrative supervisor. If you have already received your code, what are you waiting for? Let your voice be heard!
Take the 2016 Employee Engagement and Faculty Engagement Survey February 15-29
Please contact pedshelp@peds.uab.edu if employees have any issues with accessing the survey. We want everyone to have an opportunity to let their voice be heard.
Children’s of Alabama and the Kaul Pediatric Research Institute have announced the 2016 awards. The major goal of the KPRI grant program is to allow investigators to obtain data that will advantage applications for additional extramural funding. This will bring new knowledge to the care of children, leverage the investment of the KPRI, and allow projects to be competitive for the very best science on the national stage. A second, but important, goal is to ensure that a dedicated funding source is available to unique segments of the pediatric research, education, and quality improvement enterprise.
This year there were three categories of grants that were funded: Established Investigator Awards, New Investigator Awards, and Quality/Safety/Educational Awards. All funded applications are directed toward the improvement of child health care. Thank you to all who submitted applications. We anticipate another request for applications next September.
