This toolkit and companion resources describe positive and problematic practices for centering racial equity across the six stages of the data life cycle: 1) Planning, 2) Data Collection, 3) Data Access, 4) Use of Algorithms and Statisical Tools, 5) Data Analysis, and 6) Reporting and Dissemination. “Work in Action” sections throughout the toolkit highlight current site-based examples taking place at each stage.

Part C and Part B 619 staff can use the explicit, practical examples and guidance in this toolkit to craft their own strategies that help ensure racial equity is centered at all stages of the data life cycle.
