SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Department of Defense 

Education Activity (DoDEA) NonSponsored Research Program—Research 

Study Request form; DoDEA Form 

2071.3–F1; OMB Control Number: 

0704–0457. 

Needs and Uses: The DoDEA receives 

requests from researchers to conduct 

non-DoDEA sponsored research studies 

in DoDEA schools, districts, and/or 

areas. To review the proposed research 

requests, DoDEA is seeking renewal for 

the DoDEA Administrative Instruction 

2071.3 (DoDEA AI 2071.3) that includes 

Form 1, ‘‘Research Study Request.’’ The 

DoDEA ‘‘Research Study Request’’ 

collects information about the 

researcher, the research project, 

audience, timeline, and the statistical 

analyses that will be conducted during 

the proposed research study. This 

information is needed to ensure that the 

proposed non-DoDEA sponsored 

research does not unduly interfere with 

the classroom instructional process or 

the regular operations of the school, 

district, and/or areas. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 50 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 50. 

Average Burden per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

The DoDEA Administrative 

Instruction 2071.3 (DoDEA AI 2071.3) 

follows the DoD Directive 3216.2, 

‘‘Protection of Human Subjects and 

Adherence to Ethical Standards in DoDSupported Research,’’ March 25, 2002, 

which states that ‘‘The rights and 

welfare of human subjects in research 

supported or conducted by the DoD 

Components shall be protected. This 

protection encompasses basic respect 

for persons, beneficence, and justice in 

the selection of subjects.’’ To ensure that 

all non-DoDEA sponsored research 

conducted in the DoDEA school system 

aligns with these directives, DoDEA 

created the DoDEA AI 2071.3-Form 1, 

‘‘Research Study Request’’ that collects 

information that is necessary to review 

the proposed research study. The 

‘‘Research Study Request’’ is required 

from individuals or organizations who 

wish to conduct research that involve 

DoDEA school personnel, school 

facilities, sponsors, students, and/or 

data. This documentation is required to 

show that the research meets all the 

requirements for human subjects 

protection, has scientific merit, and 

does not unduly interfere with the 

classroom instructional process or the 

regular operations of the school, district, 

and/or areas. Information collected on 

the DoDEA AI 2071.3-Form 1 includes 

the researchers name, address, 

telephone number, email address, FAX 

number (if available), school affiliation 

(if applicable), the study title, and the 

study methodology, including the 

hypotheses to be tested, the proposed 

population, and the statistical 

methodologies that will be employed.
