Supporting a community-led data infrastructure to build local and equitable governance that advances policy
Brookings
2024.04.04
This project originated from the observation that while many communities (particularly low-income communities and communities of color) want to lead data collection efforts that enable them to create and implement their own policy and programmatic agendas, traditional research designs and ecosystems do not generally enable this type of community leadership and engagement. Traditional research models in which communities are the subject of the research typically empower researchers and funders, because both types of entities control important levers of the research ecosystem. This includes the development of research questions, control of the research budget, latitude and incentives to publish without acknowledging community members as co-creators, and determining the locus of the funding.
As a result of these realities, we designed our project to answer the following question: What are the conditions under which communities can be in greater control of research and data governance more generally so that they can advance their own public policy or programmatic agendas?
