Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy (AISP) of Penn’s School of Social Policy and Practice has been awarded a grant for $448,251 over a 14-month project period from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to advance the field of integrated data systems in 2020. 

Specifically, AISP’s efforts will focus on creating frameworks and tools to help stakeholders better categorize, assess and communicate data sharing approaches, motivations and impacts. These tools will be used to inform future foundation investments, advance AISP’s field-building strategy and increase the use of data in support of economic mobility. 

Dennis P. Culhane, SP2 professor and the Dana and Andrew Stone Chair in Social Policy, and John W. Fantuzzo, the Albert M. Greenfield Professor of Human Relations at the Graduate School of Education, are co-principal investigators for AISP.
