A Dissertation in 60 Days?

My day was made today when the Director General agreed to approve my research. I’m still waiting for the official signed approval, but I’m fairly confident that I’ll get the letter tomorrow morning, at least I hope so since the plan is to deliver all the surveys tomorrow.  We are now asking our experts to complete the survey in just 2 days, so there will be a great deal of pleading going on. I now wish I had planned for some form of compensation to the experts in my IRB application, but I’ll just have to hope that I’ve built up enough good will over the past 5 years that I can get the surveys I need. We shall see.
