Session Overview
• How do EDFacts vision and goals relate to ED grant data?
• What types of analysis are currently being done that use EDFacts data?
• Discuss other questions ED would like to answer with these data
• Challenges of performing record linkages across data systems

EDFacts Goals and Objectives
• Goals– Improve the K-12 dataset available for program
management and policy development– Reduce the burden on SEAs– Support data use across ED programs
• Major Objectives– Consolidate legacy collections and incorporate
new performance data into a common data model– Maintain EDFacts Data Warehouse and reporting
tools for enterprise use
4Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
EDFacts and Financial Data
• Support definition of high-value use cases – Linking EDFacts performance collections to ED
Grants management system (G5)• Develop record linkages appropriate to those
use cases and add to the Data Warehouse– Different entity identifiers
• Maintain and govern the linkages as master data for ED
5Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
Why Now?
• The “New Normal” in K-12 Budgeting• Increasing activity and demand from ED
offices and leadership– Grant Portfolio Management– Program Performance Measurement– Grantee Monitoring and Financial Management
• Maturity of data systems

Other ED Use Cases
• Grantee Risk Management – Entity risk reports
• Past performance, credit, and auditinformation for a grantee
– State and LEA Dashboards• Displays risk information with other relevant data,
including EDFacts accountability data
11Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
Potential Future Use Cases in K-12
• Analysis of Grantees as “Cohorts”• Program Performance Measures Based on
Program Funding– Efficiency Measures
• Analysis of the Distribution of Discretionary Grant Applicants and Awards– Type of Applicant / Recipient

Challenges
• Crosswalking Entity Identifiers– For K-12 linkage: NCES ID to DUNS
• Issues in Linking to DUNS numbers– Multiple DUNS numbers
• Accounting for and mitigating duplicates
13Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
Linking NCES ID to DUNS: Governance • NCES IDs
– Governed by ED - NCES (via EDEN Submission System)
– Primary entity identifier used for EDFacts• DUNS Number
– Governed by Dun and Bradstreet (D&B)– Required for applying for a federal grant or
bidding on a federal contract• Neither EDFacts or G5 requires submission of
both
14Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
Process for Issuing DUNS Numbers
• DUNS are issued by “site”– What appears to be one LEA can have multiple
active DUNS numbers in grants system, but all have distinct addresses
• D&B de-duplication processes work better for corporate entities with consistent hierarchies – Within education entities, it can be difficult to
determine whether the multiple DUNS represent different entities
15Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
Potential Alternatives for Linking NCES ID to DUNS• Requiring identifiers to be reported in one or
both systems• New ED governed entity identifier• Record Linking Process (Crosswalk Table)
• Past efforts yielded very low match rates: <20%• More recent efforts have had much higher match rates
(Current Approach)

High-Level Matching Process
17Connecting Financial Data to EDFacts
Duplicate DUNS
• Requirement: A report that displays an institution as a single entity– Example: Harvard has 30 active DUNS numbers,
but only one is associated with payee information• Current Approach:
– Use Payee as the boundary for Entity and map to the DUNS associated with the payee
– May not be valid for all use cases
