This
campaign provides tools and resources that states can use as they
develop quality longitudinal data systems. It also serves as a national
forum for reducing duplication and promoting greater coordination and
consensus among like-minded organizations.
Jobs for the Future is an endorsing partner in the Data Quality Campaign.
