About IR&DS

Our Mission

Please read our Mission Statement to find out more about Institutional Research & Decision Support and its role within Stanford University.

IR&DS Advisory Group

The IR&DS Advisory Group meets every other month on the first Monday of the month.  The group is composed of representatives from all of the schools, the Libraries, Faculty Affairs, the Budget Office, the Controller's Office, and Residential and Dining Enterprises.  The group provides communication and feedback to IR&DS.  The meetings are used to tell members about tools that are available via IR&DS, and also to solicit advice on tools and reports that are still needed.
