The UK Administrative Data Research Network

This poster presents an overview of the new Administrative Data Research Network being established in the UK. The Network aims to build a world-leading infrastructure for enabling research access to data which is routinely collected by UK and devolved government departments and agencies. The Network highlights the importance of linked administrative data answering key policy-related research questions, and aims to provide a streamlined and coherent pathway through the disparate and difficult requirements for research access to these kinds of resources - everything from data negotiation to ethical and governance review to data security requirements, secure data anlysis facilities and statistical disclosure control. The poster will highlight the network brand and upcoming website launch and present our continuing development plans.
