| Summary |
| The overall goal of the National Data Archive is to improve the knowledge base in the field by making high-quality data sets available to researchers for the purpose of secondary analysis. The comprehensive approach this project has developed involves acquiring, processing, and disseminating such data sets to child maltreatment researchers, as well as providing the researchers with the technical assistance and training they require. The Archive uses innovative technology to deliver user-friendly data products with appropriate documentation and unlimited technical assistance. Over this 5 years, the Archive plans to expand its holdings, develop new products, and provide opportunities for networking, training, and scholarly work. Annual Summer Research Training Institutes are planned. In the summer of 1998, the Archive sponsored a Research Conference on Administrative Child Welfare Data. Work began on this project under grant numbers 90CA1370 and 90CA1496. |
