Recruiting Doctoral Students with Disabilities for Focus Group Research

Good afternoon folks,

My name is Jeff Edelstein and I am a 3rd year doctoral student studying higher education and disability at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am currently recruiting individuals for focus groups exploring the experiences of doctoral students with disabilities in the United States. Individuals who have been in a doctoral program for more than one year and who have disability diagnoses, chronic illnesses, or who self-identify as being disabled are welcome to take part.

These focus groups will take an estimated 90 Minutes to complete and will be audio and video recorded to ensure accuracy in transcription. Folks who complete the initial screener and the focus group will receive a $30 Amazon gift card in compensation for their time. Please note that participants will only receive the compensation after completing both the screener and participating in a focus group session.

If you, or others you know, might be interested in participating, please use this survey link for further information and, if you would like to participate, to fill out the initial consent form. The form also has space to provide information on any access needs and preferences, as well as availability.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please send me an email at jedelstein (at) umass.edu. I’m more than happy to discuss any concerns and clarifications.
