Frequency of Data Collection. Annual
Explanation. FIPSE's emphasis on institutional contributions to projects and development of long-term
continuation plans are designed to embed projects within campus structures. In 2005 FIPSE changed the
way that it collects data through a new on-line data collection and scoring system, and has reset its
targets for institutionalization, beginning with 2006, accordingly. Assessment of projects is based on
onsite visits, evaluation of projects, and review of final reports sent within 90 days after the completion of
projects.
