Workflow for Contacting Organizations

First Message

Hello!

My name is [STUDY CONTACT], and I am a [LAB ROLE] in the Bergelson Lab at Harvard University! Our lab studies language development and we currently have a subset of studies looking at children who are blind, Deaf, and DeafBlind and asking some questions about potential differences in early language experiences and outcomes. We're looking to recruit infants and toddlers who are congenitally blind with no further cognitive disabilities into a few studies, ranging from a parent survey, to sending them a little audio recorder, to (for local folks) a lab play session (all compensated!). We were hoping that we could collaborate with you to reach families who might be interested in participating in our studies.

[IF CONTACTING FB GROUP INCLUDE: Since you are the admins of the [GROUP NAME] group, we wanted to check with you if this opportunity is one we’d be allowed to share in your group! Please reach out if you have any questions and we hope to hear back from you soon! (You can also take a look at our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/childscientists)]

Let me know if this is something you would be interested in, or if you have any questions.

Best,

[STUDY CONTACT]

"I am just following up to see whether this is something you would be interested in, or if I can answer any questions about our study. If you are not interested and would prefer to not be contacted for our studies, please reply to let us know!
