The Research Review Board (RRB) is facilitated by the Research and Evaluation Team at DPS. The RRB ensures responsible administration and facilitation of external research practice in the District, prioritizing external research proposals that have the potential to impact Denver Public Schools (DPS) students, teachers, and school leaders and are aligned to key district strategies.

In order to provide useful and actionable findings and recommendations, the external researchers working with DPS are asked to submit Research Briefs, which are discussed with district leaders but also archived here.  When appropriate, external partners are also invited to present their findings to Denver Public Schools in the form of a "Brown Bag" Presentation.  See below for a list of both:
