The NEWEST College and Beyond II data has been released.
College and Beyond II (CBII) is a new data resource for studying the impact and outcomes of higher education. It contains student record and transcript data on bachelor’s-seeking undergraduates enrolled from 2000-2021 at 19 public colleges across seven university systems. In total, CBII contains data on over 1 million students. These data are linked to qualitative data on course content, survey data on long-term life outcomes, National Student Clearinghouse data on educational attainment, and more. College and Beyond II was produced by a team of researchers from the University of Michigan and supported by a grant from The Mellon Foundation.

NSF launches prize challenge to develop innovative learning technologies for K-12 students
The Visionary Interdisciplinary Teams Advancing Learning (VITAL) Prize Challenge will focus on providing interdisciplinary teams the funding and training to build K-12 learning technology innovations at speed and scale for adoption nationwide. The challenge will be composed of four progressive steps:
- Concept Paper: A concept paper is submitted by any interested team;
- Discovery Round: An invitational opportunity for approximately 100 teams, chosen from those submitting Concept Papers, to participate in customer discovery activities;
- Semi-Final Round: Approximately 55 teams are partnered with an educational mentor (e.g., K-12 teacher) for prototype design, feasibility testing, and initial development activities; and
- Final Round: Approximately 35 teams will conduct prototype development and validation, culminating with a Pitch Session.
Teams applying to the VITAL Prize Challenge will submit concept papers to one of three K-12 technology translation tracks, depending on the anticipated application, end user, and area of impact: Rapid and Continuous Learning Assessment; Mathematical Literacy to Promote a Future STEM Workforce; or Other Innovations in Translational Learning Technologies. More details can be found in the VITAL Dear Colleague Letter or on the VITAL Prize Challenge webpage.
