Model Plan for Building Community Data Capacity This is a model plan demonstrating how communities can measure and report progress in building and using local data systems to support decisionmaking, learning, and sustainable data infrastructure. Submitter's Note: This plan was compiled in dialog with ChatGPT, which inferred the performance indicators, and has been lightly edited in the form at https://stratml.us/forms/Claude/Part2.html ^^ Any organization that may wish to apply it could use that form to edit it to specify their own stakeholders, roles, and performance indicators. No One in Particular NOIP While this plan is hypothetical, based upon the Urban Institute's National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP), it could be adopted and applied by any organization embracing its mission and vision. Communities empowered by trusted data to make informed decisions and achieve equitable outcomes. 149405ce-275f-41b6-afd7-029752c898f4 To enable people to connect with neighborhood data and build the capacity of institutions and residents to use information for better decisionmaking and stronger communities. 0bfd7d96-d948-441f-8955-d35b5fe3c549 Decisionmaking Strengthen the capacity of communities and institutions to use data to guide decisions and improve outcomes. 029F6F67-27A1-401B-98F6-8FFB6CFF61B9 1 Data Provide timely and reliable data to community stakeholders. 669E270B-4E92-44B2-ADE7-2FE3C1E8E093 1.1 1.1.1 Availability Datasets Status B9A644FC-C146-4ADB-B966-1287276DDF39 2026-01-01 2026-12-31 12 Updated datasets published on schedule Publish updated datasets according to established update schedules. 2026-01-01 2026-12-31 Baseline Record the number of datasets updated during the reporting period. 1.1.2 Utilization Users Status 05165BB8-6E55-4CD7-B786-463DCC0C5DBE 2026-01-01 2026-12-31 100 Stakeholders using data in decisions Increase the number of stakeholders using data to inform planning, programs, and policy decisions. 2026-01-01 2026-12-31 Baseline Record the number of stakeholders using data in decisionmaking processes.
