机构研究协会特伦斯·R·罗素这个为期两年的项目将支持旨在促进国家教育统计中心(NCES)和国家科学基金会(NSF)国家数据库使用的各种活动。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调查人员的几种类型的奖项。该项目将由三个主要组成部分组成。第一个组成部分是研究补助金计划，以支持调查人员使用NCES和/或NSF数据库进行关于高等教育问题的研究。该项目的第二部分提供赠款，用于使用NCES和/或NSF数据库进行有关中学后教育问题的论文研究。该项目的第三个组成部分是为参加NCES/NSF数据库研究所的年度活动提供研究金，为研究人员和其他中学后官员提供使用NCES和NCES数据库的机会和指导。

ABSTRACTAssociation for Institutional ResearchTerrence R. RussellThis two-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 databases. The project will consist of three major components. The first component is a research grants program to provide support to investigators to conduct research on postsecondary education issues using NCES and/or NSF databases. The second component of the project provides grants to conduct dissertation research on postsecondary education issues using NCES and/or NSF Databases. The third component of the project is to provide fellowships to participate in an annual NCES/NSF Database Institute to provide researchers and other postsecondary officials with access and instruction on the use of NSF and NCES databases.
