About the Coleridge InitiativeOur goal is to change the empirical foundation of social science, statistical and public agencies in the United States and transform understanding of how our society works. We are a fast-growing startup that has already created dozens of pilot projects, worked with more than 100 agencies—federal, state and local—and more than 500 agency staff.Our team is led by world renowned experts—Rayid Ghani, Robert Goerge, Frauke Kreuter, and Julia Lane—and we are building new technologies housed in a secure computational research platform, the Administrative Data Research Facility, to promote access and discovery of sensitive and confidential microdata. Those technologies are combined with training programs and consulting services to build agency capacity to serve society.Coleridge InitiativeCLRDG_e5f310b8-e347-11ea-8c0e-ab00fe82ea00Social Science Agencies in the United StatesStatistical Agencies in the United StatesPublic Agencies in the United StatesColeridge Initiative TeamJulia LaneDirectorRayid GhaniDirectorFrauke KreuterDirectorRobert GoergeDirectorAbhi VenkatAssociate Research ScientistChris AngelosantoDirector, Research AdministrationNathan CaplanAssociate Research ScientistIsmail CoskunSenior Manager, Data Facility Security OperationsBenjamin FederAssistant Research ScientistErnesto GimenoAssociate Research ScientistGraham HenkeProduct ManagerDaniela HochfellnerSenior Research ScientistClayton HunterDeputy DirectorRafael LadislauLead Software EngineerEkaterina LevitskayaAssociate Research ScientistPaco NathanSenior AdvisorOrande PeoplesOperations AdministratorMatthew RossResearch Assistant ProfessorJason ZhangAssociate Research ScientistColeridge Initiative CollaboratorsCal PolyChapin Hall at the University of ChicagoData Science for Social GoodIUPUIIPSDSjupytermdrcNASWAThe Ohio State UniversityUniversity of MarylandgesisLeibniz Institute for the Social SciencesColeridge Initiative SponsorsSupport provided byIjafBill & Melinda Gates FoundationEwing Marion Kauffman FoundationOverdeck Family FoundationSchmidt FuturesAlfred P.
