Answer:
Start with email. Contact Steve Shackelton at sshackelton@ucmerced.edu. Because there will be several communications going on, be sure to individualize yours by placing the words “NPI question - and your first and last name” in the Subject line - example - Subject: NPI Question, Mary Smith. This will keep your question distinct and recognizable - and will keep it from getting buried in a mixed thread of emails that may result in your question not being addressed. Once the email connection is made, it may be able to be moved to a telephone conversation if that suits your need better.
