A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a public workshop featuring invited presentations and discussion to explore how evolving approaches to generating, collecting, analyzing, and using data can improve the vital conditions for health and well-being (e.g., work and wealth, housing). The workshop will reflect on the roles of researchers and communities, along with entities in public health, health care, and other relevant sectors, in shaping the data ecosystem, the information and knowledge that those data yield, and the ways data support action.

Topics for presentations and discussion may include:

• Rethinking uses of population health data and cross-sector data, and considering the types of data that are useful;
• Approaches to obtaining data, including the contributions of communities and other sectors;
• Responsibility for obtaining and processing data, and for making them available;
• Data ownership/sovereignty, data security, privacy, democratizing data, and data collection driven by community priorities; and
• Use of AI in obtaining novel types of data, filling data gaps, and facilitating data integration and analysis.

The planning committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants (with attention to showcasing a wide range perspectives), and moderate the discussions. A proceeding-in-brief summarizing the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
