The Wisconsin Administrative Data Core (WADC) is a unique data resource that supports evidence-based policymaking and allows for research and evaluation across multiple programs and outcomes. Developed and maintained by the Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) in collaboration with its Wisconsin state agency partners, the WADC links a large array of administrative data covering a long period of program histories.

In this webinar, we will hear from IRP leaders about the development and use of the Data Core, a Wisconsin state agency representative who will talk about the university-government relationship behind the WADC, and two researchers who have used WADC administrative data in their research.

The webinar is designed to serve as a resource for institutions and agencies interested in developing their own administrative data sharing programs and for researchers who want to learn more about the Wisconsin Administrative Data Core.
