Other News Members Invited to Participate in Federal Statistics Survey The National Academies' Committee on National Statistics is seeking input from AAEA Members about their use of federal statistics on behalf of a project co-sponsored by the American Statistical Association and George Mason University. The goal of the Project on the Health of the Principal Federal Statistical Agencies is to independently document the value of the federal statistics and proactively identify challenges and opportunities facing statistical agencies in reports and outreach efforts to Congress, OMB, and other stakeholders. Since federal statistics are intended to be used, input from data users is critical for achieving their goal. They are funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Annie E. Casey Foundation, and California Community Foundation. Providing input is totally voluntary and can take as little or as much time as the respondent wants to devote to it. The project needs to hear from users by February 28 about the strengths and weaknesses of federal statistics. To participate in this optional survey or to learn more, visit https://www.amstat.org/fedstatsfeedback?v=AAEA.
