Resource List to Support Data Sharing for Collaborative Home Visiting Research

Exchanging data across the early childhood system requires time, resources, thoughtful collaboration, and planning. The process does not begin with identifying technical solutions for data exchange, but rather, with determining reasons to pursue data sharing, building data culture, and integrating principles of equity and privacy throughout.

This brief presents resources to support the exchange of data as identified through a targeted keyword search and review of preselected websites. Results are organized across the six stages of the Research Data Framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology:

• Envision
• Plan
• Generate/acquire
• Process/analyze
• Share, use, reuse
• Preserve/discard

Readers can learn about each resource’s type and length, content, and full citation should they wish to explore it in more detail.
