Also, we unfortunately do NOT have time to respond to requests for "how to" steps for any of our services, or for general information.

Therefore, we cannot send our materials to other consultants or consulting firms, or to students, or to the merely curious. We also do not send materials to residential addresses. We reserve the right to not respond to such inquiries. To request any of our materials, the inquiry must contain a job title and a business or organizational address, which is subject to our verification. Finally, we cannot respond to telephone messages that do not include an organizational affiliation.

A qualified inquiry is a request from a responsible professional who is authorized to later purchase our services or products as a client, if he or she so chooses.

• A qualified inquiry about our "Human Research Report" could include a chairperson, committee member, or staff member of an Institutional Review Board (IRB); a researcher or research administrator; an attorney; a research compliance official; etc.

• A qualified inquiry about our grants development services would be from a decision-maker at a nonprofit organization which has an annual operating budget of at least $300,000 or is engaged in a capital campaign to raise at least $1 million. A qualified inquiry for this area would also be from a decision-maker at an educational institution.

• A qualified inquiry about a particular survey by Focus Surveys^® could include:
  • a human resource professional (e.g., for a "Sexual Harassment Survey for the Workplace")
  • a grants and contracts professional (e.g., for a "Research Activity Survey" or a "Research Compliance Survey" or a "Grants Development Survey")
  • a chairperson, committee member, or staff member of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) for an "IRB Survey"
  • a chairperson, board member, or staff member of any organization or company for a "Board of Directors Survey"
  • a physician or administrator at a hospital (e.g., for a "Physician Satisfaction Survey on Hospital Marketing" or a "Physician Satisfaction Survey on Hospital Management")
    —and so on—

The fact is, you will probably already know if your request will be a qualified inquiry, based on your profession, career, and role within your organization.

Currently, the "Human Research Report" newsletter is available to subscribers across the globe. However, all other services of The Deem Corporation are presently available only in the United States.

While we must reserve the right to not respond to unqualified inquiries, we certainly don't want to miss you if you can use our information services!
