I wonder if those in this group could help me.   Feel free to pass this
email on to anyone you know who might be able to help.

As part of my doctoral research I am looking to involve those who
entered  the Intel Science Talent Search, the Westinghouse Science
Talent Search (which is the former version of the Intel program) or The
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.  I am looking for
those who were winners, finalists or didn't win.  The didn't win
category will be the hardest.  I am particularly interested in those
over 22 years old.  All participants will be kept confidential and there
will be no connection between the name of those who participate in the
research and their responses.  All participants will be able to get the
final paper if they so desire..

My interest is in finding out if winning or not winning one of these
awards, some with a pretty high scholarship prize, has any impact on
someone's professional track.  I am looking for those who went into a
science and technology area or those who went into a totally different
field.

If you know of someone in these categories, please ask them to send me
their email address, which contest they entered and whether they won or
not.

Any help you can provide would be great.  Feel free to forward any
questions back to me.  I am looking to collect the data over the next 8
weeks so time is important.  Although most of the data will be conducted
via email, if someone is interested in participating and they don't have
access to the internet, I can send them a paper copy of the survey.

Thanks for your patience and help,

Stephen Brand
