Application Process

Thank you to everyone who applied for the 2025-26 cohort of action researchers. Applications closed November 1. IBSC will contact all individuals who submitted an application with a status update by Friday, December 6, 2024.

IBSC will accept 40 applicants into the 2025-26 IBSC Action Research Program, with a maximum of two individuals per school.  We prioritize accepting an applicant from a different school before considering a second applicant from the same school. The program accepts individual researchers only (no teams). If a school submits more than one application, we ask the head of school to work with us to prioritize the applicants because of the high demand for spaces in the program. Each application must have the Statement of Support from the head of school to be considered. Preference is given to first-time IBSC action researchers.
