About NERRC

We provide innovative and transparent economic data access, research, and analysis to support and strengthen economic development and resilience in communities across the nation.

Our interdisciplinary team includes economists, data scientists, community planners, operations researchers, and public policy experts. We apply decision science, data visualization, and advanced computing methods to do the following:

  • Assess the effectiveness of economic development investments and interventions;
  • Characterize and strengthen economic resilience and economic development capacity across the United States;
  • Evaluate and quantify impacts to local and regional economies from disasters and other disruptions;
  • Incorporate an equity lens to economic development planning, project design, and program implementation;
  • Provide rapid analyses of emerging economic development issues or policy trends; and
  • Convene a network of government, non-profit, academic and private sector partners to regularly share economic resilience knowledge and best practices.
About NERDE

In partnership with the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA), Argonne developed the National Economic Resilience Data Explorer (NERDE) to help a variety of users across the country with local economic development, recovery, and resilience analysis.

The NERDE is designed as a clearinghouse to bring resources from across the federal landscape together for easy and useful access. If you have questions or need access to technical assistance for the NERDE, please contact us at [email protected]
