This year’s conference theme is Good Research with Challenging Data.

Challenges: What challenges do you face in your research? How do you produce good research with challenging data – whether that involves incomplete databases, sensitive information, methodological issues, or institutional barriers?

Collaboration: How does your work, ranging from data collection and analysis to decision support and planning, connect with other departments and communities? 

Continuous Improvement: How does your work help your institution develop and grow? What challenges do you navigate in order to ensure that processes improve? How does your work inform both the process and product of enacting institutional change?

Leadership: How do you lead with data? How can your work inform decision-making and planning? How can your work help inform and structure institutional accountability to students, faculty, and staff?

Innovation: What’s new? What methodological innovations have you developed or implemented? How can we make new use of software for data collection, analysis, and visualization?
