Research and Performance Measurement

The Board of Higher Education's Research office works with the public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts on data collection and analysis and oversees a comprehensive performance measurement system on behalf of the state and community colleges. The Research office also maintains public higher education data systems including the Higher Education Information Research System (HEIRS) and the School-to-College Database, and produces reports and data analyses to inform public higher education policy development.
