About this file

This document is a detailed study checklist for a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Human Factors Engineering (HFE) participant recruitment contract. The checklist outlines a comprehensive timeline and workflow for conducting user testing studies, with specific phases and responsibilities assigned to both the HFE team and the contractor. Key deliverables include recruitment criteria identification, participant screening, scheduling, consent form management, test session coordination, communication materials review, participant invitations, and post-study activities such as sending appreciation notes, processing honorariums, conducting after-action reviews, and compiling study reports.

The checklist provides granular details on timing, with most activities having specific due dates ranging from 1-15 days before and after study initiation. Contract deliverables include items like communication copies, screening questionnaire answers, test session schedules, signed participant agreements, completed checklists, study notes, audio/visual session recordings, and payment records. Each deliverable has precise submission requirements, such as drafts due 2 business days after study recruitment request and final versions due 1 business day after government comments. The document is structured to ensure systematic and organized participant recruitment and testing processes for VHA studies.
