What this funds

EDCaDS includes Data Ingest and Collection for the Enterprise (DICE), Enterprise Data Lake (EDL), Enterprise Dissemination Services (EDS), Administrative Records Research and Integration (ARRI), and Census Personnel and Employment Check Systems (CPECS). These programs directly support and are critical to the success of the Census Bureau. EDCaDS provides modern user-centric data dissemination systems and capabilities including three of the four key innovation areas of what the Census Bureau refers to as the Business Ecosystem.2 The first major component of the Business Ecosystem, the DICE program, offers modernized and reusable solutions for collection modes common to multiple surveys and censuses. The second major component, EDL, modernizes data storage and data analysis capabilities across all directorates with appropriate roles-based access control. The third major component, EDS, both protects the data that households and businesses provide by applying disclosure avoidance practices and policies to data before they are released publicly and disseminates data from across the Census Bureau. It also leverages partnerships to support the enterprise. ARRI seeks new sources of data held by government and third parties that can supplement, or even replace, data collected from sample surveys. CPECS is comprised of systems used to ensure the Census Bureau hires, manages, and vets temporary Decennial field staff.
