Requests for Lehigh Athletics Participation in Research & Inquiry


Lehigh Athletics respects and welcomes invitations to participate in research.  Each request we receive is reviewed carefully by a Department committee. 

We receive numerous requests for permission to survey our teams, student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and/or support staff. Due to incredibly busy schedules and challenges we face in trying to comply with survey requests (sometimes from Athletics, sometimes from the University, and sometimes from outside sources), we are intentional about the projects we accept.  They have asked us to try to limit the number of survey requests we pass along to them. 

Accordingly, while we do recognize the value of advancing knowledge through inquiry, we are likely to encourage participation in only a few projects that may have direct relevance to our student-athlete or staff experience. The time of year (relative to academic obligations) may also impact a decision to recommend or not recommend the participation of our community members in a research project. 

Evaluation of research inquiries will take a minimum of 4 weeks following completion of the form linked below.  Irrespective of Lehigh's involvement, we wish all researchers success in their pursuits.

If you would like us to review your proposal, please complete this intake form. 

Additional questions can be directed to inathres@lehigh.edu.

Thank you!
