CDC program that integrates environmental and health data from national, state, and local sources, and exposes them via interactive dashboards, maps, and a Data Explorer

Membership network that connects users, producers, and disseminators of government statistical data, advocating for collection, preservation, and access to federal statistics

While primarily a tool, CHR&R publicly documents continued availability and archiving of the federal data used in their indicators, emphasizing resilience amid federal data purges.

Research collaborative that documents changes to environment-related federal webpages and datasets, and maintains logs of modifications to public environmental information

DataIndex.us is a collaborative effort dedicated to monitoring shifts in federal datasets and identifying emerging risks to public data integrity. The project builds tools that track changes across five key vectors—accessibility, completeness, methodology, continuity, and transparency—to generate actionable risk indicators. These insights help policymakers, advocates, journalists, researchers, and data users understand when and how a dataset’s reliability may be degrading, and where intervention or additional monitoring is needed.

Broad coalition advocating for robust federal statistical systems and highlighting risks to “America’s essential data” in white papers and reports.

Uses federal datasets as the basis for case studies and stories showing how specific datasets support everyday life, policymaking, and the economy.

The American Statistical Association’s project to assess and monitor the health of the federal statistical agencies was launched in 2023 to take the pulse of the nation’s statistical system—the backbone of America’s public data infrastructure. This effort focuses on the 13 federal agencies whose primary mission is to produce official statistics, along with the chief statistician’s office in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

DOE–funded initiative at NREL providing “data lakes” of open energy data, with thousands of datasets and examples for working with them.

Collaborative project building a public hub and data explorer for at-risk environmental data, with ongoing archiving, mapping of EJ grants, and guides to environmental data tools.

University of California Santa Barbara project that mirrors and archives public data from agencies like CDC, NIH, and NOAA, as part of broader data rescue efforts.

Independent project that restores the CDC website and data as of early 2025, including many public health datasets and tools that were removed or altered from the official site
