Experimental data products are innovative statistical products created using new data sources or methodologies that benefit data users in the absence of other relevant products.

The development of experimental data is one important path towards the creation of new, regularly occurring statistical products. When resources permit, experimental data products that meet our quality standards and demonstrate sufficient user demand may enter regular production and will be published via https://www.census.gov/data/experimental-data-products.html.

The DEIA index is specifically designed to align with Executive Order (EO) 14035 and features the four components in the EO: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. The source of the data for this indicator is the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.

The number of new and existing minority business enterprises (MBE) assisted through an MBDA program. A MBE is a business enterprise that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially or economically disadvantaged individual; and the management and daily business operations of which are controlled by one or more socially or economically disadvantaged individuals.

This metric shows the current number of sites where GHG measurements are made with the goal of building the number of sites per year. The Paris Accord and other resolutions to mitigate climate change rely on accurately taking stock of both natural and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. These observing network sites enable OAR to accurately track the net global increase in GHGs and provide insights on where the bulk of the emissions are coming from. With an increased number of sites, OAR can provide more specificity and direct feedback to mitigation of emissions and the changing natural system that is so valuable to controlling the atmospheric GHG burden.

This KPI looks into the Trademarks service level on customers that indicated the trademarks employees they interacted with were helpful. This is in line with OMB A-11 Sec. 280 HISP requirements.

This performance indicator measures the dollar amount of EDA grants which help communities and regions be better positioned for foreign direct investment.

Total number of model projects using machine learning techniques and technologies to improve understanding, simulation, projection and representation of the Earth System.

This performance measure will assess how the UxS Research Transition Office (UxSRTO) investments are maturing the readiness levels of UxS observing system applications.

The cumulative number of products across model regions by year (basically, products + regions complete). The measure is calculated by adding when a model component is completed and integrated into the regional model for the region indicated. As planned under the NOAA Climate and Fisheries Initiative, OAR will incorporate the three products above (high-resolution prototype ocean hindcasts, Seasonal to Multi-annual Predictions, and projections) into the regional models for the four regions listed (East Coast, West Coast, Arctic, and Pacific Islands). These enhanced regional models will be part of the information developed and provided to users to help manage U.S. fisheries that are impacted by climate change.
