DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) Data Governance

DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) facilitates the sharing and linking of data from multiple state agencies to address research and critical policy questions. Operating since 2014, DataLinkCT is codified in the Connecticut General Statutes § 10a-57g. 

A coordinated statewide data governance program is critical to fulfilling the demand for high-quality education, health, and workforce data. Our inter-agency data governance system provides a structure and process by which DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) Participating Agencies work together to securely link and share data. 

Data governance includes establishing representative governing bodies that are responsible for developing and implementing data policies and processes. DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) has two Boards:

  • the Executive Board and
  • the Data Governing Board. 

A Data Stewards Group is comprised of two or more technical staff who are knowledgeable of the administrative data collected by the respective agency. This group convenes to review policies and data requests as needed. A Resident Advisory Board is in development.
