The Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN) is a university-based organization that creates demographic media, such as user guides, web sites, and hands-on classroom computer materials that make U.S. census data accessible to policymakers, educators, the media, and informed citizens. SSDAN is directed by demographer William H. Frey and utilizes facilities at the Population Studies Center, University of Michigan.
The Data Strategy provides departments and agencies a roadmap for a more strategic use of their data, and guides the federal government’s efforts to improve how it collects, accesses, manages, uses and governs data.
