The data collection exists as a portion of an overarching IU Mental Health resource awareness campaign. The initial surveillance will serve as a baseline measure to assess a starting point on the current climate, with follow-up surveillance each semester. This information will be used to gauge students’ perceptions regarding accessible and quality mental health resources and services across the Indiana University landscape and to chart how the awareness campaign influences these perceptions of resource accessibility over time.
This proposal is for the refreshment sample component of a National Institutes of Health-funded study. Ten postsecondary institutions participated in the survey last spring, including IU Bloomington.
This study focuses on the experiences of young adults on the autism spectrum as they compare to their neurotypical peers. It asks five questions:
•How do educational, occupational, and health outcomes vary along the autism spectrum, accounting for comorbid disorders?
•Do the outcomes of students on the spectrum differ based on socioeconomic status?
•Does the association of autism with outcomes vary by socioeconomic status?
•To what extent can the association of autism with outcomes be explained by the association of autism with precollege experiences and college engagements?
•How do the experiences of college students on the spectrum differ by institutional characteristics?
The study involves longitudinal data collection, following undergraduate students through their time in college and, for some, through their initial transition to the labor market. Data will be used to contribute to empirical and theoretical research on autism and other disabilities and may be used by the institution to inform policies to support students with autism. The spring 2021 data collection in which IUB participated, solicited an initial sample of college students enrolled in that semester. A subsample of those students has been invited to participate in a panel study. In spring 2022 we completed data collection from our first refreshment sample. The current request is for the second refreshment sample: a sample of students new to the institution in spring 2023. These students will then be invited to participate in the panel.
The COACHE survey allows chief academic officers information for evaluation of faculty job satisfaction and analysis to support implementation of policy and programs to improve the work life of faculty. Participation is at the request of the Provost.
This will give us data on our student substance use, as well as how it compares to other colleges/universities in Indiana. This will inform prevention and intervention services.
The purpose of the survey is to understand the satisfaction of RPS dining guests, and to determine what customer feedback can tell RPS on how to improve the dining concepts in the residence halls, academic buildings, etc.
Survey Description: The survey is 14 questions, most of the questions are multiple choice and some are open-ended comments. Most questions have to do with satisfaction at concept locations. The answers will be used to make improvements to our dining locations.
Designed to be an academic and policy research collaboration among the nation’s leading institutions, the gradSERU Survey provides comparative data about the factors frequently documented to make a difference in the success of graduate and professional students from a cross-institutional perspective.
We are seeking to determine some of the key influences students report for choosing their major and their expectations for initial employment after graduation. Additionally, we are asking a specific set of questions to identify how many people have considered a major or career in education and what might make them more likely to pursue this - to understand what might be helpful to convince more to enter the teaching workforce.
The Faculty, Academic Career, and Environments (FACE) is a project of the Pullias Center for Higher Education at the University of Southern California, in collaboration with the University of Alabama and RTI International. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the survey is to understand who faculty are, what their academic careers look like, and how the environments in which they work shape their ability to thrive as instructors, researchers and/or public scholars in the community. There is a wide range of roles, responsibilities, and day-to-day working conditions among the academic personnel. This project aims to capture the experiences of the academic workforce broadly. The survey of the faculty focuses on four main topics: 1. Who faculty are, including their multiple identities, experiences, and roles in higher education; 2. What they experience at work, which stems from institutional policies, practices, cultures, and norms; 3. Their practices related to teaching, research, and community engagement; and 4. Their perceptions of their career and the environments they work in.
