Examining Cross-Jurisdictional Data Sharing for Public Health Purposes

Type: RFP

The Pew Charitable Trusts seeks a contractor to identify policy and practice barriers that limit cross-jurisdictional public health data exchange and to analyze the laws, regulations, and policies that govern how public health data is shared between state public health agencies and other jurisdictions. The selected contractor will develop and execute a research methodology that includes thematically analyzing laws and policies across all 50 states as well as qualitative interviews with state public health agency staff and other relevant stakeholders.

The project will assess barriers and facilitators affecting cross-jurisdictional data sharing, identify examples of state laws and policies governing data exchange, and provide findings that Pew will use to inform publications highlighting research results and examples of state best practices. The selected contractor will be responsible for planning and conducting research, stakeholder outreach, interviews, legal and policy analysis, thematic review of findings, and delivery of all associated data and reports.
