Join colleagues at the Massive Data Institute and Mathematica on November 18 for the first segment in their latest series of conversations on The Cost of Cuts: Implications for Data, Research, and Policy.
WHAT: This quarterly webinar series explores how federal funding cuts and program eliminations affect the availability, timeliness, quality, comparability, linkability, and potential bias in datasets that researchers and policymakers rely on.
This first episode zeros in on Medicaid, exploring what information disappears or degrades in the data following drastic reductions in Medicaid funding, and how researchers can adapt to maintain actionable and reliable findings that inform decision-making.
Speakers include:
- Lisa Coleman, President of Adler University
- Josh Baker, VP State and Local Government Division at Mathematica
The discussion will be moderated by Ngan MacDonald, Mathematica's Director of Data Innovations.
This series builds on the inaugural Administrative Data Research Conference (ADRCon), co-hosted by Georgetown, Northwestern, and Mathematica, continuing the conversations we started in June 2025 about the real-world impacts of funding cuts on data and research infrastructure.
