Needs and Uses: The Cadet Summer Research Program (CSRP) annually matches approximately 180 of the U.S. Air Force Academy’s (USAFA’s) top academic cadets with research projects proposed and funded by roughly 100 Air Force, DOD, Federal, and nonFederal (corporate, state, non-profit) organizations around the world. (a) This annual survey formalizes the feedback process to facilitate structured program improvement and systematic relationship maintenance. (b) Without a systematic feedback process, information or recommendations from the myriad of organizations is extremely difficult to maintain. If this information is lost or ignored, USAFA runs the risk of losing program sponsors or missing valuable suggestions for lowering program cost or increasing benefit for cadet or sponsor participants. To achieve this objective without the formal survey, individual department representatives solicit, record, and report sponsor and cadet feedback individually. This process is extremely expensive and less than optimal. Without the survey, feedback is more random, non-standard, and subjective. (c) The requested survey information is not readily available via other sources.
