Get expert feedback before you begin your research.

A strong research project starts with a strong plan.

The SRA Research Plan Review provides a comprehensive evaluation of your research question, hypothesis, methodology, experimental design, variables, controls, sample size, proposed data analysis, and overall feasibility before you begin data collection or experimentation.

An SRA expert will examine your proposed research through the lens of an experienced research educator and identify strengths, potential weaknesses, unanswered questions, and areas that may require revision.

You’ll receive a personalized SRA Research Review Report with clear, prioritized recommendations for strengthening your proposed study.

Your review includes:

• Research question and hypothesis evaluation

• Experimental design and methodology review

• Variables and controls assessment

• Sample size and replication considerations

• Data collection strategy

• Statistical analysis considerations

• Feasibility and project-scope assessment

• Potential ethical, safety, or competition-rule considerations

• Major strengths and concerns

• Prioritized recommendations and next steps

Where applicable, reviewers may identify areas that should be discussed with your teacher, mentor, Institutional Review Board (IRB), Scientific Review Committee (SRC), or affiliated science fair. SRA review does not constitute IRB, SRC, or competition approval.

Best for: Students who have developed a research proposal or methodology and want an independent expert review before beginning their study.

Find the problems before they become part of your experiment.
