RE: Permission to Conduct Research Study

Dear Mr. X:

I am writing to request permission to conduct a research study at your institution or (e.g., after
school center). I am currently enrolled in the (specify program) at Notre Dame de Namur
University in Belmont, CA, and am in the process of writing my (i.e., Masters Thesis). The
study is entitled (specify).

I hope that the school administration will allow me to recruit (i.e., specify x number of
individuals, boys, girls; indicate age of children) from the school to anonymously complete a 4-
page questionnaire (copy enclosed). Due to the nature of the study, I hope to recruit (the mother,
father, or guardian) of these students to anonymously complete their own 2-page questionnaire
(copy enclosed). Interested students, who volunteer to participate, will be given a consent form
to be signed by their parent or guardian (copy enclosed) and returned to the primary researcher at
the beginning of the survey process. Parents who volunteer to participate will also be given
consent forms to be signed and returned to the primary researcher (copy enclosed).

If approval is granted, student participants will complete the survey in a classroom or other quiet
setting on the school site. (Indicate when and where i.e., recess, during school time, lunch, after
school and ask permission for use of this time as well). The survey process should take no
longer than (specify time commitment). Parent participants would complete the survey at
home. The survey results will be pooled for the thesis project and individual results of this study
will remain absolutely confidential and anonymous. Should this study be published, only pooled
results will be documented. No costs will be incurred by either your school/center or the
individual participants.

Your approval to conduct this study will be greatly appreciated. I will follow up with a
telephone call next week and would be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may
have at that time. You may contact me at my email
address:_________________________________.

If you agree, kindly sign below and return the signed form in the enclosed self-addressed
envelope. Alternatively, kindly submit a signed letter of permission on your institutions
letterhead acknowledging your consent and permission for me to conduct this survey/study at
your institution.

Sincerely,
