How were the data collected? What context for data collection purpose, use, and guidanceamong selections was available to respondents? How does that differ among datasets andhow might that affect data quality?When identities con昀氀ict for a person, what data governance rules are in place to select oneor multiple categories?CENTERING RACIAL EQUITY THROUGHOUT THE DATA LIFE CYCLENew Data CollectionIf existing data are insu昀케cient for the project, the governance team may decide to collect new data,or dedicate time to partner conversations about data limitations and possible avenues for advocacy.New collection instruments should be designed to match the purpose-based design, avoid beingduplicative, and place minimal excess burden on respondents.Ask:What resources are available to the team to run this collection? Consider funding,stakeholder time, community capacity, and institutional trust to sustain a substantiveengagement process, technology 昀氀exibility, and resources, etc.What additional voices might be important to describe, determine, and validate minimumoptions?What were the barriers in the current data assets and how will this new collection overcomethem?How will the teams ensure that voices from underrepresented communities are heardduring the collection process and in the resulting data? For example, Native peoples byTribal a昀케liation and even as a whole are often grouped with other identities for lack of“statistical signi昀椀cance.”Implementing new RELD/SOGIE data standardsImplementation of new standards will take time. It is important to resource this part of the work toensure that the new framework is integrated into existing practice carefully and responsively. Thiseffort involves dedicated training and intentional change management.We recommend considering the following during implementation:Assess existing buy-in among leadership and staff who will need to implement the newframework. Some may still oppose the changes or feel left out of the process and maybene昀椀t from additional listening sessions to understand and address their resistance andensure a smooth implementation.Inventory systems that the updated framework will affect, paying special attention to thosewho will need to actively adapt their systems to make the framework changes possible (inother words, who will be changed—and who needs to change?).34
