Quality Assurance in Data Creation [Free Webinar - IMLS National Forum
Webinar Session #2]
Thursday February 23, 2023
2:00-3:30 PM EST; 1:00-2:30 PM CST; 12:00-1:30 PM MST; 11:00-12:30 AM PST

How do governmental bodies and academic researchers ensure the data they
produce and work with has the quality needed for meaningful results? Can we
prepare students and the public to understand the data and statistics they
will use to make decisions? How does a decentralized government produce the
data we need?  Can a researcher take advantage of data from different
sectors? John Abowd (Associate Director for Research & Methodology and
Chief Scientist at the United States Census Bureau), Professor Janet Currie
(Co-director of Princeton University’s Center for Health & Wellbeing and
Co-director - NBER Program on Families & Children); and Katherine Wallman
(former Chief Statistician of the United States) will share their insights
and the challenges faced.
