School or District Overall Results Reports
Overall district and individual school results reports are readily available as public information files and do not require the submission of a research request application to access.

Individual Student Records for Parents/Guardians
Parents/guardians or alumni requesting access to individual student performance data or individual student records should submit those requests to DPSCD's Office of Data, Assessment, & Accountability or use the direct access tools provided by that department.

New Program Partnerships or Grant Requests
If you are requesting permission to implement a limited-term or ongoing program partnership working directly with students or staff in the district, you must first submit an application for approval with the DPSCD Office of Partnerships.

If your program is approved for implementation by the Office of Partnerships and requires unique data collection or sharing permissions for program evaluation purposes, you will then need to return to this section and submit a separate application for research partnership. The Office of Research, Evaluation, & Analytics' online research partnership application portal is designed to specifically incorporate the needs of established district partners with existing program implementation agreements in an effort to limit the redundancy of information required in this process.
