Centre for Administrative Data Research and Evaluation (CADRE) - an ESRC Administrative Data Research Centre

行政数据是指政府和其他公共机构收集的数据集，这些数据集除其他外，用于生成信息，以指导政策和公共服务的发展。一些例子是人口普查和全国住户调查，以及关于教育、卫生和社会服务、就业和福利、犯罪、住房、环境和经济的数据集。这些数据集对研究具有很大的价值，特别是如果它们联系在一起。然而，由于个人信息非常敏感，因此必须非常仔细地管理，以确保其匿名、安全和可靠，并且仅由经批准的研究人员出于公共利益使用。数据链接研究这个术语适用于将数据集放在一起并将它们连接起来的方法的发展，以便重要的公共问题（如教育，犯罪和就业）可以相互关联地进行研究。有一系列技术可以确保研究人员使用的关联数据集始终保持匿名。行政数据研究与评估中心（CADRE）是一个强大的新中心，专门从事使英国范围内的行政数据安全用于研究。CADRE拥有一支强大的团队，在数据链接和经济社会研究方面拥有丰富的经验。CADRE将与CIPHER（通过电子档案研究改善人口健康中心）在一个专门设计的新大楼里密切合作，大大增加研究造福人民和社会的机会。CADRE的主要目标是创建一个世界级的行政数据研究中心，该中心以其为高质量研究访问、链接和安全使用数据的能力而广为人知。我们的工作将以强有力的治理框架为基础。这意味着我们将遵守所有管理数据使用的规则、法律和法规，并制定许多新标准，以确保我们的工作始终符合道德标准，并尊重个人和组织的权利和隐私。干部有一系列的目标，这些是：1。提供强大的、健壮的、最先进的数据链接和数据访问设施。这将包括高度安全的“安全室”，研究人员将在那里处理数据。提供高质量、公平和高效的“以客户为中心”的用户支持服务，免费提供，确保尽可能多的研究人员能够获得CADRE提供的分析机会3。通过使来自不同组织的数据集能够安全地一起使用，为英国研究社区创建一个丰富的链接管理数据资源。使用相关的行政数据进行原创性研究。这将包括开发数据链接的新方法，与政府、法律和道德机构就数据使用的治理进行合作，并与公众和组织合作，了解他们对数据链接的看法。我们将与其他研究人员一起回答重要的社会和经济研究问题。5 .为研究人员、公共服务专业人员和决策者提供一系列高质量的培训和发展机会。让公众参与干部的工作，并与公众接触，提高公众对数据联动研究的认识，了解他们可能关注的问题，并寻求提供保证。7. 在行政数据研究网络（ADRN）内，与威尔士政府、其他联合王国政府及其国家统计机构（NSAs）、经济和社会科学研究界以及卫生研究人员建立良好的工作关系和合作。

Administrative data is the term used to refer to the datasets collected by the Government and other public bodies which, amongst other things, is used to generate information to guide policy and the development of public services. Some examples are the Census and National Household Surveys, and datasets about education, health and social services, employment and benefits, crime, housing, the environment and the economy. These datasets hold great value for research, especially if they are linked together. However, as information about individuals is very sensitive, it must be very carefully managed so that it is anonymous, safe and secure, and used only in the public interest by approved researchers. Data linkage research is the term applied to the development of methods of bringing datasets together and linking them so that important public issues (such as education, crime and employment) can be studied in relation to each other. There are a range of techniques to make sure that the linked datasets used by researchers are kept anonymous throughout.The Centre for Administrative Data Research & Evaluation (CADRE) is a powerful new centre specialising in making UK-wide administrative data safely available for research. CADRE has a strong team, with a wealth of experience in data linkage and in economic and social research. CADRE will work closely with CIPHER (the Centre for the Improvement of Population Health through E-records Research), in a new, purpose-designed building, massively increasing the opportunities for research to benefit people and society. The main aim of CADRE is to create a world-class administrative data research centre, that is widely known for its ability to access, link and make safe use of data for high quality research. Our work will be underpinned by a robust Governance framework. This means that we will follow all the rules, laws and regulations that govern data usage, and set many new standards, so that our work is always ethical and respects the rights and privacy of individuals and organisations. CADRE has a set of objectives are these are to:1. Provide powerful, robust, state-of-the art data linkage and data access facilities. This will include highly secure 'safe rooms' where researchers will work on the data.2. Run a high quality, equitable and efficient 'customer focused' user support service, free at the point of access, ensuring that the analytical opportunities provided by CADRE are accessible to the widest possible community of researchers3. Create a rich linked administrative data resource for the UK research community, by enabling datasets from different organisations to be used together safely.4. Carry out original research using linked administrative data. This will include developing new methods for data linkage, working with government, law and ethics bodies on the Governance of data use, and working with the general public and organisations to understand their views on data linkage. We will work with other researchers to answer important social and economic research questions.5. Provide a range of high-quality training and development opportunities for researchers, public service professionals and policy makers.6. Involve members of the public in the work of CADRE, and engage with the public to raise awareness of data linkage research, to understand the concerns they may have, and to seek to provide reassurance. 7. Build good working relationships and collaborations within the Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN), with Welsh Government, other UK governments, and their National Statistical Agencies (NSAs), the economic and social science research community and health researchers.
