Secondary Scope of Work Bid
You may be selected to conduct interviews for case studies. These interviews will be conducted using a template designed by you, preferably in Qualtrics/Google Forms. They can be conducted via Zoom or in person. Should you be selected, additional parameters will be outlined. This is arguably the most important part of the body of work. If selected, this can be included in the secondary scope of work bid. Your bid for a complete body of work includes but not limited to:
1. Thesis outline, perform a literature review, provide a quantitative analysis and methodology, and develop a tree of research questions. (INCLUDED IN FIRST BID, priority for secondary bid will be awarded to the recipient of this scope of work.)

The official due date is May 11,2024. Edits and reviews will be approximately 10 days prior and returned to you. This work will conclude with your final submission on or before May 31, 2024.
