To make sure we can accurately reach the right research participants quickly we do ask each of our panelists to complete a thorough profile of their basic household information. Once your information is complete it is maintained in secure storage and accessed only by Harvest for research projects.

Okay, so I've completed my registration for the consumer panel, now what?

It depends on what studies are running at any given time. By completing the registration form you have given your permission for Harvest to contact your household by phone or email periodically with requests for research input. If you qualify, you may be asked to attend a live group discussion, personal interview, family interview or asked to complete a survey online.

How often will I be contacted by Harvest Research Center?

Generally not more than a few times in a year. If you qualify for a live group discussion it is highly unlikely you will be contacted to participate in live research again that same year though you may be asked to complete periodic email or web-based surveys.
