Application to Conduct Research
The Santa Ana Unified School District has supported the research and approved a large number of Applications to Conduct Research in the past because we believe research leads to innovation and improvements in instruction and improved outcomes for students. Due to the large volume of requests, only a limited number of proposals will be approved that have a clear and direct benefit to the District. We will continue to support the research and evaluation components of our numerous district-wide grants as well as targeted proposals from SAUSD employees and established university and educational partnerships.
Please review the Board Policies and Administrative Regulations for conducting research in SAUSD.
