The Future of Infrastructure at the Public Sector Center of Excellence

Denice Ross is the Chief Data Scientist in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. In our discussion, she shared a behind-the-scenes look into how data can be used to measure equitable investments and their outcomes with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

“What makes me really excited about this infrastructure law is not just how much money it is, or the drumbeat of all these great funding opportunities coming online, but that these investments are being rolled out with equity as a top priority. And that’s ensuring that underserved communities have fair access to these resources.”

“Let’s revisit things because if we spend billions of dollars on the wrong projects, we are wasting our precious talent and resources, but we’re missing out on what we might actually be needing to serve people on the ground. Today’s needs are more known and we should meet them.”
