Nick Hart, Ph.D. and I had the pleasure of co-hosting the #FDTA Forum 2024, where the topic of conversation was the expected release of the proposed joint rules that will establish data standards for the collection of financial information. The forum gathered a terrific group of experts who discussed the anticipated benefits of the FDTA and next steps in the process. Read more in my latest blog: https://lnkd.in/emQsCmXk   #FDTA

The Data Foundation is proud to endorse the Improving Government Data-Driven Decisions Act (H.R. 8751), a bipartisan bill introduced by Reps. Larry Bucshon (R-IN) and Debbie Dingell (D-MI). This legislation aims to enhance state-level data infrastructure, authorizing $41 million annually through FY2028 for grants to improve data management, analytics, and security in state governments. Our new Center directors weigh in: ✅ Sara Stefanik, Center for Evidence Capacity: "This act addresses a critical need, transforming how governments operate and empowering states to make evidence-based decisions." ✅ Corinna Turbes, Center for Data Policy: "This bill leverages federal leadership to enhance state-level data infrastructure, creating a foundation for data-driven decision-making nationwide." For the Data Foundation and our community of partners, H.R. 8751 is a crucial step towards more effective, efficient, and responsive state governance.
