This five-year project will support a variety of activities designed to promote the use of national databases of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grantee, the Association for Institutional Research (AIR), will organize and administer a program to support several types of awards to investigators using these data bases. The project will consist of eight components. The first three components include continuing support from the previous award. The first component would support fellowships to individuals to support on-site work in Washington, DC providing professional experiences to the fellows using NSF and NCES databases. The second components would support research work at the awardees home institution on NSF or NCES databases. The third component would provide support for communicating and disseminating information about the content of the NSF and NCES databases and techniques for utilization of these databases for analysis. The fourth component of the project includes dissertation fellowships. This program will provide fellowships to conduct dissertation research on postsecondary education using NSF and NCES databases. The fifth component of the program includes an interdisciplinary certificate program operated at U. S. universities. This program will allow students or professionals to enroll and obtain a certificate in institutional research. The programs will use NSF and NCES databases in their training and course work. The sixth component of the program is the support of senior fellows. The fellows will be selected and are expected to serve in residence at NCES or NSF during an academic year to gain experience on the operations of Federal statistical agencies regarding the organization and collection of postsecondary institutional data. The seventh component of the project includes national collaborative training on IPEDS data. Workshops will be designed to train staff from postsecondary institutions in the actual web based collection of IPEDS data using newly designed analytical tools from NCES and in dealing with common data base and organizational problems that are part of the implementation of a new technology. The eighth component of the project includes the design and development of a Voluntary Institutional On-Line Information Network.

这一为期五年的项目将支持旨在促进使用国家教育统计中心和国家科学基金会的国家数据库的各种活动。 受赠者机构研究协会（AIR）将组织和管理一个项目，以支持使用这些数据库的研究人员获得几种类型的奖励。 该项目将包括八个组成部分。 前三个组成部分包括继续支持以前的奖项。 第一个组成部分是向个人提供研究金，以支持在华盛顿的现场工作，向研究员提供使用国家科学基金会和国家消费者评价系统数据库的专业经验。 第二部分将支持获奖者所在机构在NSF或NCES数据库上的研究工作。 第三个组成部分将为交流和传播有关国家科学基金和国家消费者统计中心数据库内容的信息以及利用这些数据库进行分析的技术提供支助。 该项目的第四部分包括论文研究金。 该计划将提供奖学金，利用NSF和NCES数据库进行中学后教育的论文研究。 该计划的第五个组成部分包括一个跨学科的证书计划在美国运作。S.高校 该计划将允许学生或专业人士注册并获得机构研究证书。 这些计划将在培训和课程工作中使用NSF和NCES数据库。 该计划的第六个组成部分是高级研究员的支持。 研究员将被挑选出来，并预期在一个学年期间在国家统计研究所或国家科学基金会提供住宿服务，以获得联邦统计机构在组织和收集中学后机构数据方面的业务经验。 该项目的第七个组成部分包括关于IPEDS数据的国家合作培训。 将举办讲习班，培训中学后教育机构的工作人员如何利用国家教育统计中心新设计的分析工具，在网上实际收集教育统计研究所的数据，以及如何处理作为实施新技术一部分的共同数据库和组织问题。 该项目的第八个组成部分包括设计和发展一个自愿机构联机信息网。
