Methodology for CalProfiles
Unit Submitted Data Definitions
Since the inception of the campus-wide CalProfiles annual
project, the IAS CalProfiles team in consultation with IAS
units developed definitions for data items under the headings
for Resource Information, Workload and Performance Measures,
and Outreach Efforts. The data describes the work of IAS
Units. Data was collected from multiple sources: IAS, and
BIS Data Warehouse, SPO database, and Unit internal databases.
