1)Data archival and processing services: ICPSR staff will review four expected NCAA data collections to ensure their completeness, accuracy, readability, respondent confidentiality, and usability for secondary analysis. These four datasets are:
?Updated longitudinal database of team-level graduation-rates
?Updated database of current Academic Progress Rates
?Growth, Opportunities, Aspirations and Learning of Students (GOALS)
?Study of College Outcomes and Recent Experiences (SCORE)
2)Data enhancement services: The Resource Center for Minority Data (RCMD) at ICPSR has developed tools and methods to improve data users? ability to properly analyze data available through the archives. The data enhancement services proposed for the NCAA Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive include:
a.Online analysis tools
b.Interviews with principal investigators/NCAA research team members
c.Webinar about data that includes access to NCAA research team members.
d.Extensive Study Use Guide- both outlining particular attributes about the NCAA and guidelines for conducting ?good? research.
3) Formal affiliation with ICPSR: The NCAA shall renew its ICPSR Associate IV membership at a cost of $2,000 per year. This will entitle the NCAA to access the entire data holdings resident at ICPSR for research use.
4)Maintain the NCAA Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive Web site: ICPSR shall maintain the unique Web site it created for this project, which contains general information about NCAA data sharing plans and activities, provides direct public access to NCAA datasets processed at ICPSR, and includes a direct link to NCAA?s home page
5)Periodic reports: ICPSR shall provide a variety of reports to NCAA to track usage of its datasets and also maintain an online system for tracking user requests and questions.
6)Participation in Disclosure Review Committee: ICPSR will work with the NCAA Disclosure Review Committee as decisions are made on data sharing and the identification of variables and code structures that will be included in public-use files.
