Award Date: 09/29/2023
Project Title: Development of a Prototype for the Standard Application Process Portal
Project Performers: Mathematica, Inc.
Award Amount: $183,660.00
Objective: The objective of this project is to develop multiple prototypes of an online portal that allows users to search for confidential data held by federal statistical agencies, apply for access to that data, and allows data providers to review those applications and render a decision. This portal supports the implementation of Section 3583 of the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 2018. An online portal does currently exist with some of the functionality described in this project. A future portal would expand the current product to allow for expansion to non-statistical and state agencies in the future as well as additional functionality and higher workloads. The prototype portal would allow users to access a metadata catalog of federal statistical agency data assets. Users could apply for access to data by completing an application and submitting it to the relevant agencies. Data providers would be able to access these applications, review them, provide feedback when needed, and render a final decision.
