New York University. Office of Institutional Research and Educational Planning.

NYU's Office of Institutional Research and Planning (sometimes referred to as The Office of Institutional Research and Educational Planning) was created in Spring 1953 as the office responsible for carrying out the University's self-study. The office was under the supervision of the University's Executive Vice Chancellor, who headed the office for the first few months before Associate Dean of the School of Law Miguel de Capriles was appointed director.

In 1961 NYU's Board of Trustees approved the merger of the Office of Institutional Research and Planning with the Office of the Coordinator of Research Services to create the Office of Research Services, under the umbrella of the Academic Affairs Office. It is unclear exactly when the transition of authority over this office occurred.

In 1971 the Office of Research Services became the Office of Sponsored Programs. That year the Academic Affairs Office also changed names, becoming the Office of Academic Development. These offices retain these names at this writing.
