A November 2009 Report by The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education entitled "STATES, SCHOOLS, AND COLLEGES - Policies to Improve Student Readiness for College and Strengthen Coordination Between Schools and Colleges" utilized HyperRESEARCH to qualitatively analyze the survey data that was the basis for the work. As noted in

the Introduction by Patrick M. Callan, "The chapters that follow take stock of much of what has been tried and learned about state policy leadership in bridging the divide between K–12 schools and postsecondary education. They bring together the work and perspectives of the authors and of several sponsoring and collaborating organizations, including: Editorial Projects in Education and Education Week; the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB); the Institute for Higher Education Leadership & Policy at California State University, Sacramento; and the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. The National Center is publishing this report to stimulate and encourage examination of the effectiveness of state policies in linking high schools and colleges, in the interest of attaining higher levels of student achievement."
