Information on the Nevada Children’s DataCenter comes from two types of sources.
Partner Agencies provide much of the state and local level data found on the site. If you are interested in becoming a partner agency, please email us at info@nevadachildrensdata.org.
National Data Sources are both governmental and non-profit national organizations who gather, analyze, or report information related to children both nationally and, sometimes, on the state level. If you have a source of national data that is not listed that you think would be useful to people in Nevada, please email us at info@nevadachildrensdata.org.

We are interested in any data that your organization already collects about Nevada’s children. The main categories of data are demographics, early care and education, family, health, housing, K-12 education, nutrition, poverty, and safety. Most organizations provide us with de-identified databases or reports that they already use for other purposes and do not have to create anything new.
Additionally, we require all organizations that contribute data to sign or opt out of a Data Sharing and Non-Exclusive Copyright License Agreements. The Data Agreement is available to make sure that your agency understands where the data will be stored, individual privacy protections, and how the data will be used.
