Research Request

The Ames Community School District supports educational research by District staff members or researchers from other educational institutions when appropriate. Curriculum Research, Policy 602.4 delineates the guidelines for all research requests.

To submit a request to conduct research in the Ames Community School District, please read the instructions below and then complete the research request form.

Instructions

If you have all the required documents for this research project, you may upload them during the process of submitting your form.  Otherwise, you may send them by email or U.S. mail at least 30 working days before the principal researcher’s anticipated first contact with students or teachers to the contact information at the bottom of this page. 

Required Materials

  • Institutional Review Board form from the principal researcher’s parent institution.
  • Copies of all measurement instruments.
  • Copies of consent forms.
  • A copy of the research proposal (including an abstract of no more than two typed pages) and the proposed project timeline.

Follow-up Procedures

The Associate Superintendent will determine the feasibility of conducting the proposed research in the Ames Community Schools, according to these guiding questions:

  • How will this research benefit the Ames Community School District?
  • Will the achievement of our students improve as a result of the research/research findings?
  • Will the study be minimally disruptive to the daily education process?
  • The Associate Superintendent will notify the principal researcher in writing of the committee’s decision.

After the Project Is Approved

It will be the principal researcher’s responsibility to seek approval from the Associate Superintendent for any changes to the originally proposed project.

Within six months of completing data collection, the principal researcher must deliver a written summary of the research results to the Associate Superintendent.
