Project Description
The Durham Children’s Data Center was established in January 2015. Initial partners include the Durham County Manager’s Office, the Durham Public Schools, the Durham Partnership for Children, and Duke University.
Project Goals
Children and families in Durham deserve the best policies, programs, and practices that are available. The Data Center collaborates with Durham community leaders to identify important public policy questions for which the community seeks answers, identify administrative data files that can be examined to answer these questions, and complete research briefs for community leaders. The Data Center will host periodic public assemblies during which policy questions will be generated, reports of research findings will be presented and discussed, and new research studies will be planned.
