1.2.1: Data Sets
Identify and publish high-value data sets. Other Information:
Identifying and publishing high-value data sets. The Foundation has begun the task of creating an inventory of high-value
information currently available for download, and is in the process of identifying high-value information not yet available
and setting reasonable timelines for publication online in open formats. The high value information will include program and
service reports that: increase the Foundation's accountability and responsiveness; improve public knowledge of the agency
and its operations; further the core mission of the agency; and respond to information requests as identified through public
consultation. For example, in the first phase of this effort, the Foundation published a data set of Udall scholars by year,
name, school, and state. The data set provides transparency regarding the 1,074 Udall scholarship recipients between 1996
and 2009, representing about $5.4 million in award funding. In addition, in mid 2010 the U.S. Institute will post an interactive
map on its website geographically highlighting ECR projects across the country, and guiding readers to project web sites and
other information resources. The Foundation will undertake these efforts in compliance with Data.gov and other applicable
Administration guidance.
