@DataCoalition We're also assessing: 📈 Societal impact and economic value 💼 Whether the private sector could feasibly provide this data 🏛️ Role in enabling democratic accountability and market efficiency

@DataCoalition What we're evaluating: 📐 Data quality and infrastructure 🔗 How many other datasets depend on it 🗺️ Scope of coverage

The Process: 1. Open nominations (starting today—anyone can nominate at https://t.co/KbXdn1aW8d) 2. @DataCoalition members review 3. Expert panel assessment using objective criteria

@theNASEM @kgahome Read our blog for more insights from a former chief statistician of the United States, former director of the National Center for Health Statistics, and former chair of the U.S. Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking

@theNASEM “The rule provides a roadmap for a way of doing business that not only should help to ensure that the data that the statistical agencies produce are accurate and objective, but also that they'll be perceived as accurate and objective.” – @kgahome

A recent webinar we co-hosted with @TheNASEM’s Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) explored the Public Trust Rule’s significance, risks to its implementation, and reasons for cautious optimism about the future of the federal statistical system.
