Description

The United States Department of Education (ED) plans to issue a solicitation for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)/State Postsecondary Education Coordination Network of State Higher Education Officers. This will be a Full and Open Competition. The Network is important to both the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the States. NCES uses the Network to maintain close communications with the States and to obtain direct access to the States' higher education executive officers and other high level state postsecondary education officials, as well as institutional administrative officials and faculty. The Network provides the opportunity of maximum coordination between NCES and state and institution officials, especially in planning, developing and conducting NCES's postsecondary education data collection activities (e.g.,the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System [IPEDS], the NCES Faculty Survey, and the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study [NPSAS]), and in developing with state and institution staff standard data definitions and categories to improve the process of data collection and reporting among the federal and state governments, and postsecondary institutions.
