The Administrative Data Research Initiative (ADRI) - McCourt School of Public Policy (MSPP), is enabling the research community to answer new questions about families and communities involving health, housing, employment, and education data. ADRI aims to support secure and responsible access to administrative data that have been collected by government agencies and companies by addressing obstacles often encountered by researchers.

ADRI promotes standards, best practices, and fosters community among data intermediaries, data owners, and researchers.
