A Field Guide for Financing Public-Sector Integrated Data Systems and Evaluation
This guide provides practical financing strategies for governments to build, maintain, and expand integrated data systems (IDS) and evaluation capacity using federal and non-federal funding sources.
The guide walks through how states, localities, and tribal governments can leverage federal grant programs, philanthropic support, and innovative partnerships to sustainably fund integrated data systems that link cross-agency administrative data.
It outlines practical examples from jurisdictions across the U.S., offers audit-readiness tips, and explains how recent OMB grant guidance enables broader use of federal funds for data and evaluation. The guide also emphasizes governance, equity, legal frameworks, and cross-sector collaboration needed to operationalize IDS effectively.
