... There are current federal programs that track information state by state and present it in an annual report, such as the Department of Education's Civil Rights Data Collection3 or the National Science Foundation for its Science and Engineering State Profiles.4 These programs may offer models of how to obtain data from states, and manage, analyze and report it. Within states themselves, there are numerous examples of data-tracking in education that could be either modified or supplemented to include information on science and STEM without creating significant additional administrative burden.
