Navy personnel surveys are a valuable means of collecting information from Navy military and civilian personnel about various aspects of naval service and civilian employment. They provide data which enable Navy managers to make informed decisions.

Coordination and control of surveys is required in order to maintain quality, minimize the impact of survey administration on Navy OPTEMPO, and provide for the life-cycle management of Navy surveys.

The Navy Survey Office administers the Navy's Survey Policy (OPNAVINST 5300.8C).  Navy Research Psychologists trained in experimental design, survey design, and statistical analysis reviews, approve surveys according to instruction.  For more information, see our brief or contact (901) 874-2256 or (901) 874-4633 (DSN 882).
