In this article, author Wendy Kilgore reports that 2016 was a productive year for AACRAO Research thanks to the active and ongoing participation of the members. Eleven research projects were completed in 2016 including 60-Second surveys and three comprehensive projects. The intent of the 60-Second surveys remains the same since its inception. They are intended to capture benchmarking practice snapshots of interest to the members and sometimes sister organizations as well as to occasionally measure members' interest in proposed AACRAO professional development opportunities or support of AACRAO's publications. Beginning in May 2016, the frequency with which AACRAO deploys 60-Second surveys was reduced to every two months. The comprehensive projects seek to provide career profile information for key enrollment related positions as well as to provide an opportunity to take a deeper dive into topics. The topics are most often drawn from member inquiries or hot topics in higher education news (e.g., "early" FAFSA). Provided is a complete list of 2016 projects, in chronological order. A brief introduction and summary of the key findings for each project is included.
