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 use nationally representative sample surveys and other National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) datasets, thereby improving the quality of information underlying decision making in postsecondary education, and the effectiveness of those decisions. The proposed program has three components that will 1) support new research initiatives, 2) support dissemination of findings, and 3) provide face-to-face training in the use of national databases. These components are targeted to institutional researchers, faculty, and doctoral students who conduct research about American postsecondary education including trends in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)- and who use national data to inform campus and national higher education practices.

机构研究协会（AIR）提出了一项计划为期两年的计划，该计划提高了高中教育社区使用全国代表性的样本调查和其他国家科学基金会（NSF）和国家教育统计数据集中中心（NCES）数据集的能力，从而提高了这些决策后的大量教育和有效性的信息决策质量。拟议的计划具有三个组成部分，其中1）支持新的研究计划，2）支持调查结果的传播； 3）在使用国家数据库时提供面对面的培训。这些组成部分针对的是机构研究人员，教职员工和博士生，他们对美国高等教育进行研究，包括科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的趋势，并使用国家数据来告知校园和国家高等教育实践。
