DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) Data Stewards

The Data Steward group was formed as part of the Data Governance program, which also includes the Executive Board and Data Governing Board, to address data quality issues and other questions and concerns. Each DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) participating agency appoints at least two Data Stewards from their agency who are are responsible for maintaining and creating datasets for approved data requests.

A data steward is responsible for various aspects of their agency or organization’s data, and may be institutional researchers and information technology staff. They implement Data Governing Board policies, define data standards, and assess technical data matching processes in the DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) system. They may also make recommendations to the Data Governing Board on the creation and improvement of policies and procedures, including data security recommendations.
