Our Network is currently made up of 35 diverse data sharing efforts from across the United States. That includes 26 sites that have established cross-agency data agreements across multiple projects and routinely integrate data for policy and program improvement, and 9 developing sites that are working to develop the human and technical capacity to effectively link and share their data.

Every site is different, but common types of data that are shared for approved purposes include: early childhood, education, child welfare, public health, justice (adult and juvenile), economic security, and housing. Linking this information at the individual level makes it easier for agencies and their research partners to collaborate to improve policy, programs, and the lives of people.
