Researchers may request permission to have a survey distributed to the ASTA membership. All requests will be reviewed by the ASTA Research Committee. A limited number may be selected, as appropriate to the following criteria:

The study:

• has a clear purpose, including clearly stated outcomes of benefit to ASTA—to a targeted portion or all ASTA membership;
• is being conducted by a current ASTA member;
• is described in the Research Survey Distribution Application and submitted to the ASTA Research Committee.

Please note: No researcher will receive a list of ASTA member emails; all communication regarding the survey will be distributed through the ASTA national office.

If selected for distribution to the ASTA membership, or a targeted portion of the ASTA membership, the researcher will:

• submit payment of $100 to ASTA for communication costs;
• have the survey distributed to the appropriate ASTA members in a maximum of 3 emails (normally the initial survey and two follow-up reminder emails);
• submit a 300-500 word abstract to share with the membership on the ASTA website;
• present a poster or a session at ASTA National Conference, and/or submit an article to the American String Teacher journal or String Research Journal, within one year of completion of the study.

Complete this application form with all necessary information for review by the ASTA Research Committee. Please keep in mind that the survey invitation may be edited.

Allow 14-21 business days for review.
