Federal Register Notice: Federal Evidence Agenda on Disability Equity

For those who work with disability statistics: 

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is seeking input from the public to help inform the development of the Federal Evidence Agenda on Disability Equity. 

The Federal Evidence Agenda on Disability Equity will:

1. Describe disparities faced by individuals with disabilities that could be better understood through Federal statistics and data collection, such as disparities in health, employment, educational, and other outcomes, or in Federal program participation.
2. Identify, in coordination with agency staff, Federal data collections where improved disability data collection may be important for advancing the Federal Government's ability to measure disparities facing individuals with disabilities; and
3. Identify practices for all Federal agencies engaging in disability data collection to follow in order to safeguard privacy, security, and civil rights, including with regard to appropriate and robust practices of consent for the collection of this data and restrictions on its use or transfer.

They are inviting members of the public to share perspectives on how the Disability Data Interagency Working Group should address these requirements in the Federal Evidence Agenda on Disability Equity.
