Abstracts of research projects conducted within the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD) by external agencies or individuals are presented. Each of these researchers went through a screening process in which AISD staff members reviewed their proposals to ensure protection of AISD students and staff and quality research that fits the needs and interests of the district. Twenty-eight proposals were reviewed between June 16, 1990 and June 15, 1991. Of these, 17 were approved, 7 were disapproved, and 4 were withdrawn. Thirty abstracts of new and ongoing projects within the AISD are included. Each abstract contains a description of the study, subjects, and results; and includes a list of participating schools and the implications for the AISD. (SLD)
