NPEC was established by NCES in 1995 as a voluntary organization that
encompasses all sectors of the postsecondary education community including
federal agencies, postsecondary institutions, associations and other
organizations with a major interest in postsecondary education data
collection. NPEC produces products that are of value to data providers
and users. In 2007, NCES assigned NPEC the responsibility for developing
a research and development agenda for IPEDS. NPEC also provides technical
expertise to NCES.
