Over the past two to three years, the Association has committed itself to greatly enhancing its data and research capacities. In 2006 the board of directors established the PAEA Data and Research Workgroup, in effect until 2008, to review the Association's data collection processes and benchmarking materials from other organizations and develop a research agenda. In April 2007 Mei Liang became the Association's first full-time research staffer. The Association has also developed a web-based portal to facilitate completion of surveys by member programs and to centralize data storage. The PAEA Research Institute assumed responsibility in 2009 for the development of additional surveys and a revised Annual Report, with the assistance of the newly-established Data and Research Subcommittee.
