Good day,

We will be closing down the survey portion of the Street-to-Screen project on the 15th of August. At that time we will begin the vital, but time consuming, process of transcribing and sorting through the 100s of hours of interviews and analyzing the wealth of survey responses about the diverse ways that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) influence how people involved in the sale and purchase of sexual services develop connections, exchange information, and negotiate the details of the sex for money exchange. Our first use of this information will be to prepare a detailed report for the Department of Justice Canada as an addendum to our participation at the round table inquiry on Former Bill C-36 that was held in Vancouver on 24 March 2017. Beyond this, we will be producing policy reports, academic analyses, and media statements that adequately represent the full range of the contributions and experiences of the people who have taken the time and opportunity to speak out through this project.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many service providers/escorts/sex workers and clients who are members of this community who have provided such positive feedback and support for the research over the past year.

Thanks to your contributions this project will represent a large number of voices and experiences of people involved in the sale and purchase of the sexual services. These numbers make a difference, particularly for policy makers, legislators and judiciary that place a high value on evidence for the development of policy and in making determinations about the constitutionality of law.

For those of you who still wish to make your contribution to this important and one of a kind project, it is not too late. The online survey will remain accessible until the 15th of August.
 
Many thanks.

We are going to be working tirelessly for the next 30 days to make sure as many people as possible have the opportunity to take part in this.

I presume you are doing this on your own time. Do you get paid for it much?.
 
Yes, this is all done on my own time. Interestingly enough, in Canada, when research is funded by one of the three major federal granting agencies (CIHR, SSHC, or NSERC) researchers are not allowed to profit in any way from the research because doing so would constitute a conflict of interest.
 
but they are allowed to draw a salary (well, none core research assistants etc. are anyway).

I believe I've already done the survey.
Keep up the good work.
 
Many thanks for taking part.

Researchers with an institutional appointment (e.g., lecturer or tenure-track position) draw a salary from the university but they cannot draw a salary from the research money granted. The only people that can get paid from the research funds are research assistants, research coordinators, and people providing labour to aid the research (e.g., transcriptionists, printers, web designers, advertisers, etc.)
