Research in Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) is governed by Regulation 612-1. All research requests must be submitted on this form for review by PWCS leadership. Review times vary depending on the complexity of the project, the number of participants involved, and events occurring within PWCS. As you complete the research application, address each question completely but concisely as possible. Complete applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The time to review an application ranges from a week to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the research proposal, the scope of the project, the time of year, and other factors, with a typical application being completed in three weeks.
You will be asked to attach multiple documents (consent letters, instrumentation, etc.). It is permissible for multiple files to be merged. If you are unable to attach the documents after sending the application form, please send them via email to Christina Kuriacose at kuriacca@pwcs.edu. After submitting the application form, you will receive a copy by email. Please save this for your records. If you do not receive a copy in your email, the application was probably incomplete and will not be reviewed.
Please note: Incomplete applications will not be reviewed and, after 30 days, will be deleted from the database.
