Effective 11/1/2026 HERI is pausing CIRP survey administration. The per-survey model that has supported this research for many years has become increasingly difficult to sustain, and we believe a deliberate pause is the responsible way to protect the program’s future.

We want to be clear about what this is and what it is not. This is a strategic pause in survey administration, not a decision to end HERI or its research mission. Over six decades, HERI has added multiple instruments to its work, including follow-up surveys, climate assessments for faculty and staff, and longitudinal tracking.
