The Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) is assisting Lumina Foundation in compiling an inventory of data collected and used within the Foundation. The goal of this effort is to inform Lumina’s measurement activities and facilitate internal communication and data sharing across strategies. The following survey will provide IHEP with a snapshot of your data collection and use and will inform forthcoming interviews with you and several Foundation grantees. IHEP will use this information to create a living product that summarizes the Foundation’s postsecondary data practices. It will serve as an internal tool for Strategy Directors and Strategy Officers in advancing Lumina’s work.
