IDEAS collects and manages multiple data sets that are structured specifically for academic research and analytics projects. Some of these data sets come from internal administrative data, while others are based upon publicly-available information.
We are excited about exploring projects that involve merging these data in new and unexpected ways. Contact us if you are interested in learning more.
