Research
One of the primary purposes of IHEP is to conduct research and analysis geared toward both a policymaking and general audience. Every year, IHEP produces a number of professional reports and papers that explore a variety of higher education related topics such as changing systems of finance, the evolving role of information technology, the needs of the emerging majority, accountability and quality assurance, and the global context.
Changing the Debate Through Research
An unprecedented degree of consensus has recently formed in both the policy and philanthropic worlds around activities to improve college access and degree attainment. IHEP will play a key role in these efforts through the launch of a Policy Research Campaign that will provide timely, thought-provoking and data-driven research on existing policies and prescriptions aimed at higher education decisionmakers at all levels. This new strand of research also reaffirms IHEP's commitment to underserved, and largely understudied, student populations, such as low-income young adults, immigrants and the incarcerated.
