Institutional Effectiveness, Research & Planning
Reporting
Central Washington University's Institutional Effectiveness, Research & Planning Department (IERP) provides information for state, federal, internal, and external reports of CWU higher education data.
The mandatory state and federal reports include the Common Data Set, Federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Survey as well as Public Centralized Education Enrollment System (PCHEES) and Public Educator Standards Board (PESB) reports, which are required for every university to complete. Another integral task IE undertakes is accreditation data provision for university and programmatic functioning, for individual programs and the entire university.
Research
Institutional Effectiveness, Research & Planning also plays an integral role in university-based research for grants and programs at Central Washington University. These university programs include TRIO, STEP, CAMP, Ready to Rise, and many others.
IERP also provides Qualtrics Survey Software administration for CWU students, faculty and staff. Qualtrics allows you to build, send and analyze surveys in a secure environment.
