Genome Database for Vaccinium User Survey

:Established in 2011 the Genome Database for Vaccinium (GDV, https://www.vaccinium.org) has become a central repository and data-mining resource for genomics, genetics, and breeding data of Vaccinium species. It has been supported by funds from USDA NIFA NRSP10 (2014-2024) and USDA NIFA SCRI Vaccinium CAP (2019-2023).We are asking users to complete a short survey to indicate the usefulness of GDV for their research. The results of this survey are of vital importance to our efforts to develop a sustainability plan to ensure the long-term availability of GDV for the research community. We would very much appreciate you taking the time to complete this short survey as we need sufficient respondents to obtain statistically significant results.Thank you in advance for your invaluable input.

Q1:How often do you or your lab use GDV?

Q2:Since when have you, or your lab, been using GDV?

Q3:How valuable is GDV to your research?

Q4:What Country are you located in?

Q5:What institution are you currently employed at?

Q6:What is your current position?

Q7:What is your area of discipline specialty? You may select more than one discipline specialty.

Q8:What is your primary use of GDV?

Q9:Have you cited GDV in your publications, either the GDV manuscripts or a GDV URL?

Q10:Do you plan to cite GDV in future publications?

Q11:After 11 years of US research grants, like many other organism databases, we are considering adopting a subscription model to keep data current on GDV. Please rate the likelihood that you would recommend your institution/department/funding source pay for access to GDV?

Q12:If you are willing to pay please select the funding source(s) you are most likely to use. Please select all possible funding sources.

Q13:If using program/department funds, how much would you be willing to pay annually for access for up to ten users?

Q14:If GDV was no longer in existence, where would you go for access to the same content and tools? If you do not have an alternative source, please enter N/A.

Q15:If granting agencies (federal, industry, etc.) added funding for database subscriptions, would you be willing to add support for GDV into your research proposals?
