The PIs of this project from the University of Minnesota are expanding the capacity for conducting data-intensive interdisciplinary research to advance knowledge and understanding of child well-being across multiple data systems including education, child welfare, health, mental health and juvenile justice. The project is integrating six additional datasets into the current Minnesota Linking information for Kids (Minn-LInK) cross-system data project. The project is building a community of researchers from diverse disciplinary communities to expand data linkage, develop infrastructure for efficient utilization of integrated data, and organize an interdisciplinary communication network. The project makes a more comprehensive set of data available to researchers, expands codebooks for new and existing data, and develops ready-to-use datasets and tools for efficient utilization. A Fellowship program to train graduate students and develop future researchers coordinates the efforts of university faculty and state agency staff.The construction of the Minn-LInK Fellows has the potential to integrate the university into the work of the state, regional and local agencies. The collaborative training experiences for the graduate students who will be a part of the Fellows program brings together the research and disciplinary knowledge of the faculty with the agencies' experiences, understanding of the datasets, and knowledge of the policy and practical issues that are faced by the state. The collaborative community in this proposal starts from the perspective of early childhood education rather than from a K-12 or postsecondary perspective. The research infrastructure that is developed by this project expands the capacity of researchers throughout the state of Minnesota to better use the longitudinal integrated data to more fully understand the influence of student performances in STEM on multiple malleable factors in education.

明尼苏达大学的这个项目的PI正在扩大进行数据密集型跨学科研究的能力，以促进对教育，儿童福利，健康，心理健康和少年司法等多个数据系统中儿童福祉的了解和理解。该项目正在将六个额外的数据集整合到目前的明尼苏达州儿童链接信息（Minn-Link）跨系统数据项目中。该项目正在建立一个由来自不同学科社区的研究人员组成的社区，以扩大数据联系，开发有效利用综合数据的基础设施，并组织一个跨学科通信网络。该项目为研究人员提供了更全面的数据集，扩展了新数据和现有数据的代码簿，并开发了随时可用的数据集和工具，以实现有效利用。培养研究生和培养未来研究人员的奖学金计划协调了大学教师和国家机构工作人员的努力。Minn-Link Fellows的建设有可能将大学融入国家，地区和地方机构的工作。为研究生谁将是研究员计划的一部分的合作培训经验汇集了研究和教师的学科知识与机构的经验，数据集的理解，以及政策和实际问题的知识是由国家面临的。本提案中的协作社区从幼儿教育的角度出发，而不是从K-12或中学后教育的角度出发。该项目开发的研究基础设施扩展了明尼苏达州研究人员的能力，以便更好地使用纵向综合数据，更充分地了解学生在STEM中的表现对教育中多种可塑性因素的影响。
