AACP's office of institutional research and effectiveness (OIRIE) gathers, analyzes and summarizes data related to the pharmacy schools accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). The OIRIE functions include:

• Administration and reporting of national, peer and institutional survey results
• Communicating survey data through infographics and interactive Tableau dashboards
• Development and provision of technical support for the Assessment and Accreditation Management System (AAMS), in conjunction with ACPE

OIRIE’s annual surveys include:

• Curriculum Quality Surveys (graduating student, faculty, alumni, and preceptor)
• Application Pool, Enrollments and Degrees Conferred Surveys
• Roster and Faculty Salary Survey
• Tuition Survey
• Survey of Vacant Budgeted and Lost Faculty Positions
• Financial Survey

Student pharmacists, faculty and administrators, higher education organizations, and the federal government use these data to study trends and make decisions regarding pharmacy education.
