This is a non-profit project focused on scientific research. We are a group of academic researchers who study videogames and the player experience (some of us are also very passionate Destiny players). We are interested in understanding what motivates people to play Destiny, how they play and what they like and don’t like. Our goal is to generate knowledge that will ultimately lead to better experiences for players.
My name is Daniel Johnson and I’m the Director of the Games Research and Interaction Design Lab (CHI discipline) at QUT. I’m conducting research into people’s experience of video games. If you’d like to help me in this study I’m looking for people over 15 years of age, who have played, or are currently playing, Destiny, to complete a 15-20 minute online survey and supply their Gamertag/PSN ID. In return for your participation you could win a $100 Voucher (from Amazon.com).
The survey is available at http://destinyplayers.org (there is further details about the survey and how to participate on the first page).
Please note that this study has been approved by the QUT Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number 1400000754).
Many thanks for your consideration of this request. Should you have any questions, please contact me via email. Please feel free to share this post with other people who you think might be interested in participating in the research.
(Thanks to Bungie for their permission to share these details with the Destiny Community on this forum).

Seems legitimate if anyone was curious http://gridlab.bamdone.com/projects/ not 100% sure though. Perhaps Cozmo or someone from Bungie could officially comment here and confirm/deny the legitimacy.
