Research Proposal
The Vancouver School Board does not have a research department. Educational research is provided by outside research consultants or organizations. Research applications are accepted from teachers, graduate students or faculty members. However, any research examining contentious or personal topics, making unreasonable demands on the time of participating schools, or which do not contribute to the improvement of education, cannot be considered.
All research done in the Vancouver District must be approved by the Research Committee.This committee meets once a month and researchers are advised to submit their proposal copies a week prior to the monthly meeting (usually the last week of the month).
Researchers must submit seven collated copies of their proposal including relevant consent forms and sample survey questions. Proposals that are not collated will not be considered.
Researchers have to approach individual schools directly, and in case of personal intervention gathering, letters of permission are required from parents/guardians of students. The anonymity of participants has to be maintained.
VSB has an agreement with the Universities Ethics Committees, which provide interim approval for the research to be undertaken. If a letter of approval is required from VSB, please contact District Learning Services, (604)713-5222. More detailed guidelines or a copy of the agreement for conducting more extensive research is available by opening the pdf file below called "Research Guidelines".
