Project Name:

Engaging Policy Stakeholders to Inform a Future National Secure Data Service

Contractor: Clarivate Analytics, LLC

Lessons Learned

  • Policy stakeholders in the federal space have a wide range of data and evidence building needs. They also have various capacity and skill levels to fulfill those needs.
  • The planned infrastructure, services and tools to be offered through a future National Secure Data Service (NSDS), including the development of a concierge service and other resources, will be instrumental in informing this project’s goal to develop a framework for policy stakeholders to successfully acquire, access and use data and services for evidence building within an NSDS. This policy stakeholder framework solution will also help to inform the suite of NSDS services and tools that are currently being developed.
  • Integration of efforts with other project developers and the NSDS decision makers are needed to ensure seamless service development of solutions and ongoing coordination.
  • An in-depth literature review conducted this quarter highlighted key considerations for policy groups in the federal government related to data and policy formation needs. Future engagement with these stakeholders will delve into the specific requirements to shape the final framework solution.
