Special Bulletin: Important Changes for Site Data Collection This Summer

Important Changes for Site Data Collection This Summer

This year we have made changes and enhancements to the site profile system aimed at improving your data collecting and reporting experience, concurrently laying the foundation for further improvements in coming years. Although the system will not be open for this year's data entry for a few more weeks, we want to alert you in advance to a very important change that will affect information you gather during your summer institute.

As in previous years, data about your summer institute participants will be imported from information gathered by Inverness Research as part of the annual summer institute participant survey. Inverness will still be collecting surveys and some data; however, this year each site will also enter some information about its summer fellows directly through the site profile system. To guide you in gathering the data, please download the new Invitational Summer Institute Worksheet, which outlines the data to be gathered for later entry into the system: http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/download/nwp_file/12506/2009%20ISI%20activity%20worksheet.pdf?x-r=pcfile_d. If you have questions, please contact Miriam Neidhardt at siteprofile@nwp.org or 503-719-7974.
