The Data Governance and Privacy team aims to educate others about the latest data governance and privacy policies and technologies. Few universities are teaching data governance and privacy, and the available course offerings are mostly at the graduate level. We aim to motivate more conversations about data governance and privacy, provide training, and produce accessible communication materials.

Through these new research methods and communications efforts, Urban hopes to broaden access to federal administrative records so researchers, policymakers, and government officials at all levels can not only gain greater insights, but also make meaningful policy decisions informed by evidence.
