1 - Informational

2 - Application

The surveys below are a reflection of a potential application that can be used as a foundation for screening potential Partners. The different areas are to prompt an understanding of the different organizations’ baselines and how they fit into the context of the Data Collaborative.

3 - Organization

Develop criteria of candidates that best fit the context of the community you are hoping to achieve. Look for how each organization fits in the context of the Data Collaborative's concepts and where you can reinforce and support each organization.

4 - Participant Selection

The Data Collaborative Partners (Direct Practitioners) participate in triads in the Data Collaborative community. Each organization has three individuals with unique and diverse sets of skills that, when put together, encompass the total body of work that the Data Collaborative's Aim requires. Each person has specific bodies of work that help fulfill the requirements of the work. To help guide and assist in selecting the right people, we have provided the following information for the positions reflected below. Each position below will include the following:

• A job description of the role in the Data Collaborative.
• Resumes to reflect past experiences prior to the Data Collaborative.
• A bio that gives a narrative of what they have done.
• Any remarks/reflections about the work that might not be captured in the information.

When asking organizations to select specific people, the personas and descriptions below are a reference point.

Example Personas of Data Collaborative Participants

5- Baseline Survey

The survey below is to assess the content knowledge for the four different pillars. It will allow the organization facilitating the capacity development to understand how much understanding each participating individual has on a specific content area. With that information, they will be able to develop and place Participants in the appropriate training.

6 - Finalize MoU

Below, please find a foundation to start building a memorandum of understanding. This is based on a three year timeline and the original project scope and sequence. We would suggest making amendments to the necessary requirements based on the scope and sequence that you are proposing. The scope and sequence would be based on the concepts that you are adopting, as well was the results of the baseline survey (which will help predict the level of content knowledge of the participating individuals).

The Memorandum of Understanding should include language and agreements around the following themes:

• Type of Supports: This includes what type of supports (refer to Capacity Building section) and how the frequency in which they will occur.
• Expenses: Explain what are the expenses associated with the project, who is responsible for the cost, and for how long.
• Time & Expectations: Be sure, to the best of your ability, to write out expectations in organization changes, as well as time needed to be dedicated for the project success.
• Data: The Data Collaborative is dependent on the availability and access of data. The MoU should include a section that provides access to all relevant data.
• Permission & Access: It's important to include additional request from participant. Permission may include the ability to freely market, advertise or share results of the project with the general public, etc.

7 - Exploration

For the exploration phase of onboarding new Partners we suggest using NIRN's approach for exploration. The link for that information can be found here.

8 - Scope & Sequence

Below are the Scope and Sequences that the Data Collaborative followed for Year 2 & Year 3. They are based on the different levels of supports needed for the Partners based on the different years and content.
