The mission of the Center for Innovation through Data Intelligence (CIDI) is to conduct inter-agency research to identify areas of service need in the City of New York. CIDI collaborates with all Health and Human Service (HHS) agencies and other City partners to promote policy change that improves services for all New Yorkers.
To ensure the effectiveness of research results, CIDI creates a team of representatives from all data-sharing agencies to participate in the design and analysis of each project. CIDI values the contextual interpretation of data and respects persons’ confidentiality in its research activities.
