Data at Your Desk Series: Charging Up Your Research with Administrative Data
Administrative data research uses information that organizations collect during their everyday operations, such as school enrollment records, healthcare claims, employment records, and government program data. These datasets help researchers answer important social, economic, and policy questions by studying large populations and long-term trends that are often difficult to examine through surveys alone. In this presentation, you will learn what administrative data is, where to find it, common mistakes researchers make when using it, and practical tips for successfully working with these powerful but complex datasets. For online attendance: You MUST use your FSU email account to access this workshop through Zoom. Please ensure that your Zoom app is up to date before the workshop.
