Request to Conduct Research
Dear Researcher,
The mission of the Chandler Unified School District is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens. To that end, the major research interests for the district are studies that explore various:
- methods to increase student achievement
- approaches to help prevent at-risk students from dropping out of school
- approaches to assist with school improvement
Beginning in School Year 2024-25, we will be evaluating research requests in a bi-annual cycle. See the following important dates.
| null | Intended Research Start Date | Request Deadline | Request Status Notification |

Fall 2024 Cycle | Fall 2024 onward | May 17, 2024 | July 1, 2024 |
Spring 2025 Cycle | Spring 2025 onward | November 29, 2024 | December 20, 2024 |
We still encourage you to complete your application as far in advance as possible. If you miss a deadline, you may still submit your request. However, we cannot guarantee that your request will be evaluated in time for the intended start date of your research.
