The Analysis I section visualizes data from DMAC's annual registration records (participant, year, home institution) and the Carnegie Foundation (institutional population, control, and classification). Navigate this section with the numbered buttons above, and mouse over the visuals for more information.



Three fourths of home institutions have sent participants to no more than one DMAC Institute, and almost two thirds of home institutions have sent no more than one participant. Home institutions sending participants to two or three DMAC Institutes and home institutions sending two or three participants account for a large majority of the remainder in both cases. From an institutional standpoint, DMAC relies heavily on first-time and one-time participation just as much as (if not more than) it relies on a tight network of familiars. The next page (2 above) shows how these overall figures translate to the distribution for any given DMAC Institute.
