Common use of Institutional Research Clause in Contracts

Institutional Research. Each institution is responsible for compiling student-level data on an annual basis for submission to NEBHE each April, relying on either their own Institutional Research (IR) personnel or, in the case of smaller independent institutions, IR personnel with whom their school contracts. During the initial submission year, NEBHE will host information sessions to prepare for data collection. An IR designee is required to attend one of the aforementioned sessions to ensure data submissions are timely and accurate. Similar to the transition process for the GC (outlined above), if the IR staff member who typically completes annual data collection and submission for Vermont Transfer Guarantee enrollment departs their position, the participating institution is responsible for notifying and providing a new point of contact to NEBHE facilitators within two weeks. It is also the institution’s responsibility to provide sufficient onboarding to the new IR point of contact so that they can be clear on the expectations for annual data collection for Vermont Transfer Guarantee enrollment.
