How was the data collection instrument developed and validated?
An Excel spreadsheet template was initially developed and revised by the members of the CSP Technical Advisory Committee, with advice from other individuals associated with the CSP including Dr. Rachelle Brooks, Director of the Center for Data Collection and Analysis, and institutional research officers at several participating CSP institutions. Based on the experience with a pilot study carried out in the fall of 2006, further refinement of the instrument was made and current data standards are outlined in the Data Submission Guides available on the project website.
