Thank you for your interest in conducting research with Fulton County Schools (FCS). Dissertation candidates, FCS staff, university faculty, research firms, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations should complete a research application to conduct research studies, surveys,and evaluations, and to request to obtain data to support research activities. Research Requests include any requests from individuals and organizations to conduct surveys, research studies, or evaluations, as well as requests to obtain data to support research activities.
We review proposals for compliance with federal regulations concerned with student records, privacy, and participation in research studies, as well to ensure that the research studies and surveys do not interfere with instruction or require excessive student or staff time. At this time, we will only consider research that is aligned with the District's Strategic Plan, has the potential to directly benefit our students, and incorporates timely feedback of results to the District leadership.
If you are an FCS employee who is a doctoral student that needs to conduct non-dissertation research as a class requisite for your university, please contact the department at programevaluation@fultonschools.org
Listed below is important information and required forms for conducting research within Fulton County Schools. Proposals will not be approved without completed documentation.
