Postsecondary Data for Action Network
A year-long learning community that brings together cross-functional teams of institutional researchers, administrators, faculty, and data professionals to support applied research and policy engagement.

About the Postsecondary Data for Action Network
IHEP and the Association for Institutional Research (AIR) launched the Postsecondary Data for Action Network to help colleges leverage data to improve student success and credential completion. Through collaboration, research, and data analysis, the network supports institutions and institutional systems in pinpointing barriers, implementing evidence-based strategies, and strengthening policies that advance strong student outcomes.
Over the course of a year, participating teams will receive guidance from IHEP and AIR to enhance their data capacity, connect insights to institutional and policy decisions, and foster knowledge exchange across campuses and regions.
