The session will provide an overview of major sources of data and research about the District of Columbia, its neighborhoods and its residents. These data have many uses, including making your case in proposals, setting priorities for your resources, planning outreach activities and designing specific initiatives and programs. Examples will be provided of how data and research can be applied in these ways. Participants will practice these methods in group activity. After this training session, participants will be able to identify where to get data they need for their work, and how it can be used to further their mission.
