* It is expected that reported data will be available through the NSF by as early as February 2004.
In the past, there was significant confidentiality that kept most data from being identified as from specific institutions when it was reported. The intent for the 2003 survey is to make much more of it available in an institution-specific manner – to make it more useful for inter-institutional peer comparisons and the like.
So . . . we don’t know the details of the data which will be requested, just some generalities. But it is clear that some fairly senior IT staff on your campus will find a “new” project on their plates by November.
It might be a good idea to query your president’s office or your space management or institutional research staff to see who the institutional coordinator was in 2001, since that person, or someone in their office, may well be designated again in 2003. If you get those lines of communication open now, you’ll likely save some time and stress later.
