The National Youth Leadership Council is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals for further research on our Growing to Greatness 2004 national survey of kindergarten through 12th-grade principals.

The survey of 1,799 principals boasts a 91-percent response rate and produced a wealth of raw data on service-learning and its perceived impact. An initial analysis, "Community Service and Service-Learning in U.S. Public Schools, 2004," is available from <a href="http://www.nylc.org">http://www.nylc.org</a>. NYLC would like to make the dataset available to other researchers for further analysis that will benefit the field of service-learning.

NYLC is currently accepting research proposals from student-faculty teams. Two teams will be selected to receive a $1,000 stipend. Winning proposals will be announced at the 2005 National Service-Learning Conference, March 17-20, 2005, in Long Beach, California. The winning teams’ final research reports will be slated for possible inclusion in the Growing to Greatness 2006 report.
