We offer solutions for…
Researchers, educational institutions, state and local agencies, educational apps, and organizations that are committed to driving better outcomes for students.
Partnering with leaders in teaching and learning
For researchers
Accelerate your research. Answer bigger questions
Traditional education research means months of negotiations, limited sample sizes, and privacy barriers that prevent the studies you actually want to conduct. You spend more time securing data access agreements than analyzing data. Your sample sizes are often too small for meaningful statistical power. And privacy concerns prevent you from linking data across platforms to understand how students really learn.
SafeInsights was built to get past those barriers. Our privacy-preserving infrastructure gives you the ability to study large groups of students over time, across multiple learning platforms — while protecting personal student data. No lengthy negotiations. No manual data requests. No direct data access, which simplifies IRB review.
With SafeInsights, you can:
The result:
You spend your time on actual research, not data procurement. You answer the ambitious questions that matter for learning science. And your insights directly inform how millions of students learn.
For educational institutions
Partner with researchers. Protect student privacy. Inform institutional decisions
Your institution has valuable data that could improve student outcomes and advance learning science. But traditional research partnerships create significant risks: FERPA compliance concerns, data breach liability, legal review bottlenecks, and political sensitivities that make stakeholders understandably cautious.
SafeInsights makes research partnerships possible while minimizing those risks. Our infrastructure ensures student data never leaves your systems. Researchers never see individual-level records. And you maintain control over all research queries and outputs using your data.
Joining SafeInsights means:
The result:
Your institution doesn’t just support research — it gains a strategic partner that can help inform decision-making, advance institutional goals, and maintain the privacy standards your leadership demands.
For state and local education agencies
Enable research that informs policy. Maintain the highest privacy standards
Your longitudinal data systems contain insights that could transform education policy and practice. But current processes for research access are cumbersome: months-long approval timelines, multiple legal and IT security reviews, limited staff resources to manage requests, and the ever-present risk of privacy incidents with serious consequences.
SafeInsights changes the calculus. Our privacy-by-design infrastructure enables rigorous research without extracting student records from your systems. Researchers bring their questions to your data — they never see individual student information. You maintain governance and control while significantly reducing the operational burden on your team.
Joining SafeInsights means:
The result:
The data you’ve invested in building can finally generate the insights you need — without the resource drain or privacy risks of traditional approaches.
For educational technology and applications
Demonstrate efficacy. Improve your product. Protect your IP
You’re frequently approached by researchers seeking data access. Each request creates the same issues: legal reviews, custom engineering work, liability concerns, and ongoing costs that don’t fit your budget. Meanwhile, research may feel like a distraction from product development for your team.
But you know that research could validate your product’s effectiveness and provide insights to improve your algorithms. The problem isn’t the value of research — it’s the operational burden and risk of traditional approaches.
SafeInsights solves that problem. You maintain complete control over what researchers study. You approve or deny every proposal. Researchers never see your raw data, never access your IP, and reimburse your costs, so you have minimal operational expenses. And instead of creating work for your team, SafeInsights provides free research insights that answer your own product questions.
Joining SafeInsights means:
The result:
You gain research-backed product insights, maintain complete control over your data and intellectual property, and join a powerful network for your business.
Everyone benefits when research works differently
Unlike traditional education research that creates costs and risks for Data Partners, SafeInsights delivers genuine value to all parties. This isn’t a zero-sum game where researchers gain at the expense of institutions or platforms; it’s a collaborative model that pushes everyone forward.
