SGER: Proof of Concept of a New Business Model for the Multiple-Institution Database for Investigating Engineering Longitudinal Development

SGER：中场新商业模式的概念验证：用于调查工程纵向发展的多机构数据库该SGER奖项将探索一种新的商业模式，以提供对中场数据库的访问。 该小组试图展示将新的机构数据集纳入数据库的自动化过程的概念验证，包括验证和确定与目前工作有关的某些学术政策。通过简化从新伙伴机构收集数据的程序，将更容易征聘这些伙伴，从而更容易扩大数据库。这将增加利用数据库进行的研究的力量，并提高所进行研究的普遍性。 使用该数据库发表的研究成果对学生、教师、顾问、高等教育管理人员、政府拨款机构和立法机构都有影响。 扩大向数据库提供数据的机构伙伴的范围，将提高利用数据库进行的研究的结果的影响，既提高研究的声誉，又为可能考虑根据这些结果作出改变的机构提供更多的背景。此外，随着机构伙伴数量的增加，研究数据库的研究人员队伍也将增加。因此，数据库的学术产出将大大增加。

SGER: Proof of Concept of a New Business Model for MIDFIELD: the Multiple-Institution Database for Investigating Engineering Longitudinal DevelopmentThis SGER award will explore a new business model for providing access to the MIDFIELD database. The team seeks to demonstrate proof-of-concept of an automated process for incorporating new institutional datasets into the database, including validation and the identification of certain academic policies identified that relate to the present work. With a simplified process for incorporating data from new partner institutions, it will be easier to recruit those partners and, thus, easier to expand the database. This will both increase the power of the research conducted using the database and enhance the generalizability of the studies conducted. The research published using this database of this work has implications for students, faculty, advisors, higher education administrators, government granting agencies, and legislative bodies. An expanded set of institutional partners providing data to the database will increase the impact of the findings from research using the database, both by enhancing the reputation of the research and by providing more context for institutions that might consider making changes in response to those findings. Furthermore, the team of researchers studying the database will grow as the number of institutional partners grows. As a result, the scholarly output from the database will increase considerably.
