I will fax you a copy of a survey we just recently circulated.  Our
provost and deans appreciated seeing the results and asked that I
set up a focus group to examine the results and develop methods
to attack the barriers.  Warning:  I had to get assistance from the
deans to get a good return rate.  Most people thought that if they
weren't writing external proposals that they didn't need to complete
the survey, which took only approx. 8 minutes to complete.

Good luck!
