Syracuse University's Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) provides leadership in developing and implementing the University's institutional research and assessment plan to support institutional planning, policy analysis, and program improvement. OIRA conducts and centrally coordinates research and assessment efforts for the University's academic and administrative units.
The University's research and assessment efforts are coordinated through the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment in order to optimize the quality of research conducted; the participation of our constituents in data collection efforts; and the use of resources by combining, when appropriate, the research needs of individual units and the institution.
To ensure consistency in reporting, OIRA is the University's official source of institutional data. The office coordinates the collection and reporting of data for a variety of external and internal purposes.
OIRA works with faculty and staff to develop and implement research and assessment initiatives by providing the following services:
(a) consultation to determine outcomes and assessment methods;
(b) instrument development;
(c) data collection, entry, and/or processing;
(d) data analysis and interpretation; and
(e) reporting.
