Coleridge Initiative is launching their Data for Evidence-Building Webinar Series! Our aim is simple: to facilitate conversations that drive effective policies for the greater good. We believe that by exploring key questions and discussing essential topics related to data and its impact on policy making, we can create positive changes in local communities.
Register for Coleridge Initiative’s Access and Discovery of Data for the Public Good webinar session on September 19 from 12pm-1pm EST (9am-10am PDT).
The Administrative Data Research Facility (ADRF) is an award-winning, secure, cloud-based data hosting platform that enables collaboration between agencies across jurisdictions. With a focus on safe access and use of administrative data, the ADRF provides agency researchers with secure data enclaves that promote collaboration and innovation.
This session will focus on explaining the pipeline from data ingestion to safe exports while providing a walkthrough of the ADRF including Coleridge's project isolation model and demonstrating how researchers can access their data with R or through DBeaver. A live demo of the newly launched ADRF Management Portal will also be presented.
