Action Research Pre-Screening Process
Action Research Pre-Screening
All action research at VCSU must be reviewed prior to conducting the data collection process. If the pre-screening process reveals concerns, your research may need to be submitted for further review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
This is typically what is required for each of the Pre-screening reviews.
