Institutional Data Systems and Research Center

Since 1978, AACN's Institutional Data Systems (IDS) and Research Center has been the nucleus of the Association's authoritative national databank. Annually, IDS reports the most current statistics on:

• Student enrollment and graduations for the current academic year by type of program
• Five-year trend analyses for baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral programs
• Faculty salaries according to rank, degree-level, and type of institution by numerous characteristics, including tenure status
• Selected faculty characteristics, including age profiles
• Deans' salaries and characteristics

This essential resource assists the nursing community in addressing changes in health care systems and nursing education, and it is the foremost benchmarking source for baccalaureate and graduate programs in nursing.

AACN also offers customized data reports that are tailor-made to a school's individual specifications.
