Apply as a district

Four short steps, about ten minutes in total. You do not need engineering drawings, a completed HVAC assessment, or board approval to apply, and "Not sure" is a real answer to every technical question.

About you

So we know who to talk to, and who else we may need to bring in.

Can you speak for the district on this, or are you raising it internally?
This helps us bring the right people into the conversation. It is never used to turn an application down.

Your district

The basics, plus one question about approvals so we can plan around your calendar.

Applicant type

Do you track cause-based absenteeism? Whether your attendance records distinguish illness from other reasons for an absence. Either answer is fine, and it does not affect eligibility.

Does your district have a research review board, or a formal approval process for outside research? Districts call this different things: a research review board, an IRB, a research review committee, or a data request process. If you are not sure, say so and we will work it out together.
