AACP's office of institutional research and effectiveness (OIRIE) gathers, analyzes and summarizes data related to the pharmacy schools accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). The OIRIE functions include:
- Administration and reporting of national, peer and institutional survey results
- Communicating survey data through infographics and interactive Tableau dashboards
Development and provision of technical support for the Assessment and Accreditation Management System (AAMS) as institutions. OIRIE will continue to assist institutions during the transition to PHARMS in conjunction with ACPE and provide AAMS support through the end of 2026.
OIRIE’s annual surveys include:
- Program Quality Surveys (formerly called the Curriculum Quality Surveys): Graduating Student, Faculty, and Preceptor
- Application Pool, Enrollments, and Degrees Conferred Surveys
- Roster and Faculty Salary Survey

- Financial Survey
- Healthy People 2030 Survey
Student pharmacists, faculty and administrators, higher education organizations, and the federal government use these data to study trends and make decisions regarding pharmacy education.
