Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Government Excellence

In FY 2020, ONSE began a partnership with the Center for Government Excellence (GovEx) at Johns Hopkins University to undergo a 360-degree Data Governance Assessment. This assessment will allow ONSE to document and improve its internal data infrastructure and management practices to increase access and use of data to track ONSE’s violence reduction and prevention efforts. This assessment will also better position ONSE to use data to make informed decisions and to effectively partner with external research institutions conducting independent evaluations of ONSE’s work.
