AIR’s National Data Institute is an intensive introduction to NSF and NCES datasets and research methodologies using large national data sources. The institute aims to:
- Stimulate interest in using national data to address research questions in institutional research, science and engineering, and postsecondary education
- Instruct participants in the methods of using national data to conduct analyses, with primary emphasis on the new web-based data analysis systems developed by NSF and NCES
- Enhance understanding about methodological and technological issues relevant to large-scale national data collection
- Foster collaboration between participants and NSF and NCES staff to improve future data collection and analysis
Calls for applications will begin in mid-January 2013. For more information, see the link below:
