Advocating For the Value of Your Favorite Federal Dataset

Posted: 10/2/2025 ()

If you have a data set that is really important for you and has valuable impact more generally, then consider telling your story to Essential Data U.S. (https://essentialdata.us/).  They are seeking to build a compendium of cases that convey compelling real-world examples of how federal data can benefit the American people and economy. Your story will help data users and advocates be more effective when engaging with lawmakers and federal agencies for continued resourcing of federal data programs.  Your story will also help federal agency data stewards and their leadership to better understand the true value of their data, especially as it relates to administration priorities.
