1. Internal Project Name & Respondent Pitch
Internal Name
The Internal Project Name is only visible to you and your teammates. It serves as a reference for your team on the main project dashboard.
Project Title (Participant-Facing)
The Project Title is visible to participants and acts as their first impression of your study. Think of it as a headline that grabs attention. Respondents refer to this as the project's hook.
Tips for a Strong Project Title:
Be specific and engaging.
Highlight the unique aspect of your study.
Example:
❌ Seeking seniors with a pet!
✅ Looking for seniors who believe their pets improve their quality of life.
Respondent Pitch
Use this section to build upon your Project Title by providing a brief description that helps participants understand the goal of your research and determine their fit.
Example: Are you a pet-owning senior? If you're 55+, we want to learn more about your relationship with your furry friend—how your pet enhances your quality of life and the daily activities you enjoy together.
