Improving Federal Disability Data: The Office of Science and Technology Policy, The Office of the Chief Statistician of the United States, and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research are co-chairing a Disability Data Interagency Working Group (DDIWG), tasked with the development and release of a Federal Evidence Agenda on Disability Equity, in order to improve the Federal government’s ability to make data-informed policy decisions that advance equity for the disability community. This working group recently published a Request for Information in the Federal Register seeking public input on:
- The evidence needed to better describe disparities faced by people with disabilities
- How to best collect data on disabilities
- How to improve public access to disability data
- How to best protect privacy, security, and civil rights of individuals who provide data on their disability status
