The Food Systems Innovation Center (FSIC) conducts applied research services for food businesses. To complete this research, FSIC requires the assistance of community volunteers to participate in consumer research. If you are interested in being on one of our consumer panels, please proceed to respond to a few questions that will help us match you with a panel that will benefit from your input.

This is a confidential survey. The research team will be provided your information for the purpose of planning the study and for recruiting purposes only. Please be aware, while we make every effort to safeguard your data once received from the online survey/data gathering company, we can never guarantee the confidentiality of the data while still on the survey/data gathering company servers, or while en route to either them or us. It is also possible the raw data collected for research purposes may be used for marketing or reporting purposes by the survey/data gathering company after the research if concluded, depending on the company’s Terms of Service and Privacy policies.

This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.

Your information will be retained for one year only, after which you will be contacted and invited to update your information. If you choose not to update your information, you will be removed from the database and will not receive future invitations to participate in consumer panels.

If you have questions about a study, please feel free to ask; my contact information is given below.

Thank you for your time.
