Dataset Description

The UMETRICS 2016Q3a Dataset core files include 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.
