Intent
The purpose of the Data-to-Action for Parenting Students at Texas Colleges & Universities Grant Program (D2ATX) is to provide Texas public colleges and universities with coaching and support by Urban Institute to increase data collection around parenting students. Urban Institute is a nonprofit research organization that provides data and evidence to help advance upward mobility and improve the well-being of families and communities.
Urban Institute has created a Data-to-Action Campaign for Parenting Students that aims to inform, guide, and steward the implementation of parenting status data collection. Urban Institute identifies standards of practice and strategies to overcome challenges as the process is field tested. These insights will support the institution in improving enrollment, persistence, and student outcomes.
