"it would take you forever to find that data another way." “succinct, data-based explanations of key issues.” “a tour-de-force of data integration.” “Policymakers, program planners and grants writers can use the HUB to demonstrate where to target scarce public resources and explain the data-driven rationale behind policy decisions. With the proper clearance, the HUB is a researcher’s paradise.”
