All research conducted at the Community Leadership Center and Early Learning Research Academy must be proposed to and approved by the Director of the CLC and the team of program and research staff. All potential investigators are required to follow the process outlined in the following Research Protocol document. CLC staff is available to discuss or solicit input on proposed projects (e.g., to design a study that best fits within the CLC/ELRA context). Proposals that involve the LEAP Academy are presented to the CLC and once reviewed, they are discussed by the school’s Curriculum Committee and must be approved by the school’s Board of Trustees. For further information or specific questions, feel free to send an email for Dr. Gloria Bonilla-Santiago at gloriab@camden.rutgers.edu.
