<p class="MsoNormal">NADAC's mission is to share research data on arts and
culture with researchers, policymakers, people working for arts and culture
organizations, and the general public. This session, led by staff managing NADAC,
will help attendees to learn about data available from NADAC at the national,
state, and local levels. The session will also highlight user-friendly tools
for analyzing the data (including for those not experienced with statistical
packages), for visualizing the data, and for other ways of using research data
to support the arts and culture community.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Measures of Effective Teaching Longitudinal Database
(MET LDB) has been available to the research community for almost a year now,
and we invite current and potential users to log in for a review of the project
and available data, and then stick around for Q&A with the ICPSR staff who
manage data file processing and access for secondary analysis. This is a great
opportunity to get your questions answered about this complex dataset,
specifically questions on file organization and structure, as well as data
access policies and procedures.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0in">The Washington State Achievers Scholarship program
(WSA) started as part of an initiative by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
to fund and support 16 high schools in Washington State as they redesigned
their schools in order to increase academic achievement for all of their
students. In 1999, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation started the Gates
Millennium Scholars Program (GMS), a 20-year initiative which intends to expand
access to higher education for high achieving, low-income minority students.</p>
<p style="margin:3pt 0in 0.0001pt">In 2012, ICPSR’s Resource Center for Minority Data (
RCMD) and the Gates Foundation entered into an agreement to make data collected
through the two scholarships freely available to the public through ICPSR. This
session will provide some methodological and content background on these data
and ways to access and analyze these data.</p>
