Tribal governments and organizations are using data to support their priorities, within a broader landscape of systems that shape how data is governed, accessed, and used. Both Tribal and external systems—and how they interact—play a role in how data is used in practice. Understanding these dynamics helps identify opportunities to better support Tribal data priorities.
The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) and Mathematica, in partnership with the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), invites you to join a two-part webinar series focused on shaping the future of the National Secure Data Service (NSDS).
The NSDS is a proposed government-wide set of shared services designed to make it easier to discover, access, and use data securely for research, policy, and decision-making.
Webinar Title: Building Tribal Data Capacity: Pillars, Priorities, and Implications for the NSDS
Date/Time: Thursday, May 28, 3:00-4:45 PM ET
Description:
This webinar will explore Tribal data capacity needs and gaps, along with recommendations for addressing Tribal priorities through Tribal-specific features and implementation supports that could apply to the NSDS. The webinar discussion will center on hearing from Tribal data users about:
- Successes and challenges from past and current Tribal data capacity-building efforts
- How Tribes and Tribal organizations currently access and use data
- What tools Tribal data users are looking for to support their access and use
- Recommendations for how the NSDS can best align with Tribal priorities to meet data needs and build capacity
Speakers:
