Urban Institute researchers from Urban’s Disability Equity Policy Initiative responded to a request for information from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on the Federal Evidence Agenda on Disability Equity. This response provides evidence on the disparities faced by individuals with disabilities not well understood through federal data collection, identifies opportunities for improved federal disability data collection and public access, and offers a framework to encourage the Disability Data Interagency Working Group to carefully evaluate the technical and policy solutions for safely sharing data and engaging with stakeholders throughout the process.
