DataSpark was founded to connect data and people, with the goal to inform, empower and inspire innovative decision-making. For over 25 years, DataSpark has been assisting policymakers in state and local governments, community leaders in nonprofits, and academic researchers with their analytical needs. DataSpark maintains and operates Rhode Island's Statewide Longitudinal Data System, also known as the RI DataHUB, which integrates and links data from multiple state agencies, local governments, and local non-profit organizations. DataSpark is particularly interested in applying its expertise in system development, analysis, and visualization to guide public policy and community action in ways that promote the economic and social well-being of all Rhode Islanders.
