Details:
The TDC Equity Analysis Awards are intended to support state or local TANF agencies to build their data analytic capacity through the completion of an equity-focused analysis project of their administrative TANF data, with the goal of advancing the economic well-being of individuals and families currently receiving or eligible to receive TANF services. Award recipients are expected to evaluate social equity in the TANF program’s inputs, processes, outputs, and/or outcomes. Equity-focused analyses evaluate the fair, just, and impartial treatment of individuals under the management and practices of the TANF program. For example, analyses may assess disparities or disproportionalities across different social groups with respect to benefit levels, sanctioning rates, or short- or long-term employment or earnings outcomes. The goal is to complete data analytics projects, the results of which have the potential to promote equity within each award recipient’s TANF program.
The specific goals and expectations of this award program are the following:
- Build data analytic capacity among TANF agency staff through intensive training and technical assistance.
- Contribute to evidence on the social equity of the TANF program by analyzing TANF administrative data.
- Encourage innovative approaches to leveraging one or more existing TANF data sources.
- Demonstrate the potential for improved TANF data quality, use, and governance to benefit improved agency programming and individual and family outcomes.
