Help shape the future of federal websites

What am I signing up for?

You may be invited to participate in a research session to give your honest feedback on government websites. Most of our studies are conducted online. Some studies are conducted face-to-face near you. The studies typically last one hour or less. If you participate in a session, you will be compensated. Compensation amounts may vary, but are typically $75 per hour and paid via Visa gift card.

Your participation is voluntary. You can opt out and be removed from our list at any point. To opt out, email us at tts-research@gsa.gov.

What do I need to participate?

• A willingness to share your honest feedback
• A laptop, tablet, or smartphone
• Internet access
• To be 18 years or older

How it works

2. If you are a match for an upcoming study, we will follow up with details about next steps.

For federal agencies

GSA is exploring the possibility of providing research operations support to other federal agencies.

We want to understand your current research practices and what operational support would be most useful to your team.
