The UMETRICS 2016Q3a Dataset is comprised of two collections.
The first collection includes core files in which researchers will find university
financial and personnel administrative data pertaining to sponsored project expenditures at
IRIS member universities during a given year. UMETRICS core files are based on
administrative data drawn directly from sponsored projects, procurement, and human
resources data systems on each IRIS member university’s campus. Individual campus
files are de-identified, cleaned and aggregated by IRIS to produce these core
files. The core files include university data on sponsored project awards, direct
cost wage payments from awards to employees, purchases of goods and services
from vendors, and subaward transactions to subcontractors. Additional
files provide supporting information to characterize and describe IRIS member
institutions, identify sub-university units responsible for particular grants,
and provide additional detail on object codes included by some data providers.
In addition to core files, we are
releasing crosswalk files linking UMETRICS data to external datasets at the
individual and award level. In the 2016Q3a release we include match tables that:
(i) link individual UMETRICS research employees to dissertation data (with a
focus on dissertation topics) provided by ProQuest, and (ii) link federal
awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science
Foundation (NSF) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to detailed
information about the content of grants. This documentation includes details
about the data as well as the matching process. The data release includes code
and original data files to allow replication and improvement of matching
procedures by research users.
