Public and private initiatives have made substantial investments in improving the quality and standardization of administrative data systems over the past decade. These records increasingly offer high quality longitudinal information about developmental, social, and behavioral phenomena. Yet, using administrative data in research has continued to be difficult for researchers. The team at the Administrative Data Accelerator aims to accelerate access to, and the impact of, administrative data records to facilitate evidence-based policymaking.
