The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) proposes a two-year continuation of a program that has increased the capacity of the postsecondary education community to utilize national sample surveys and other NSF and NCES data sets, thereby improving the quality of information underlying decision making in postsecondary education, and the quality of' those decisions. The proposed program has four components that will 1) support new research initiatives, 2) support dissemination of findings, 3) provide face-to-face training in the use of national databases, and 4) produce media-supported training in the use of national databases for dissemination via the Web. These components are targeted to doctoral students, postsecondary faculty, and institutional researchers who study higher education including trends in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and institutional researchers who use national data in comparative studies and decision support at colleges and universities.

美国机构研究协会（AIR）提出了一项为期两年的计划，旨在提高高等教育社区利用国家抽样调查和其他NSF和NCES数据集的能力，从而提高高等教育决策的信息质量，以及这些决策的质量。拟议的方案有四个组成部分：1)支持新的研究倡议；2)支持研究结果的传播；3)提供使用国家数据库的面对面培训；4)在使用国家数据库通过网络传播方面提供媒体支持的培训。这些组成部分针对的是博士生、高等教育教师和研究高等教育的机构研究人员，包括科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的趋势，以及在高校中使用国家数据进行比较研究和决策支持的机构研究人员。
