If you are submitting a thesis or dissertation, you must complete all final submission requirements as specified by your school/department before submitting to NH PERL.

In order to be eligible, your work must:

  • Focus on the intersection of people and the environment in New Haven, Connecticut. This can include resources which describe larger areas encompassing New Haven so long as the findings are relevant to New Haven specifically.
  • Be high quality, original work which contributes to knowledge about New Haven while accurately and respectfully representing the New Haven community. This includes adhering to relevant IRB requirements for university-affiliated or government-funded research.
  • Protect the privacy of any study participants by leaving out identifying information such as names, addresses, etc. or include permission from identifiable participants (see "What you need to submit" section below).
  • Be produced within the last ten years.
