Federal Justice Statistics Resource Center
UI administers the Federal Justice Statistics Resource Center (FJSRC), a Bureau of Justice Statistics Federal Justice Statistics Program database, which contains information about suspects and defendants processed in the federal criminal justice system. Using data obtained from federal agencies, the FJSRC compiles comprehensive information describing defendants from each stage of federal criminal case processing.
International Activities Center Project Database
Working in all 50 states and more than 60 countries abroad, the Urban Institute's International Activities Center has a wealth of experience analyzing policies, evaluating programs, and informing community development to improve social, civic, and economic well-being.

Marriage Calculator
The Marriage Calculator, developed by the Urban Institute for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, provides a set of tools for assessing the financial consequences of marriage for low-income families. The Marriage Calculator tool allows users to see how taxes and public assistance may change when a couple's living arrangement changes from living apart to cohabiting to married. The State Marriage Policies Database allows users to search through tax and transfer program rules related to marriage and cohabitation to learn how state policies influence the financial consequences of couples' decisions. The Prepared Tables—all created by the Marriage Calculator—illustrate how incomes change upon marriage or cohabitation for sample families with a range of characteristics.
National Center for Charitable Statistics Dataweb
The National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) has developed a turnkey system for use by state associations of nonprofit organizations. The system gives the associations access to NCCS data resources, and enables them to update and make additions to the data that would be fed back to NCCS. Additionally, nonprofits can file their Form 990s online.
National Survey of America's Families
The National Survey of America's Families (NSAF) is a survey focusing on the economic, health, and social characteristics of children, adults under the age of 65, and their families. The NSAF sample is representative of the nation as a whole and of 13 states, and therefore has an unprecedented ability to measure differences between states. Public use files enable independent research on the NSAF data.
TANF Typologies Database
The TANF Typologies Database contains welfare policy variables, state economic and demographic variables, and the six key outcomes variables that they are hypothesized to affect. The database categorizes state welfare policies into six typologies, which facilitate the clustering of states along selected policy dimensions and links between the policies and outcomes.
Transfer Income Model
The Transfer Income Model, version 3 (TRIM3), is a comprehensive microsimulation model developed and maintained at the Urban Institute by the Income & Benefits Policy Center, with primary funding from the Department of Health and Human Services. TRIM3 simulates the major governmental tax, transfer, and health programs that affect the U.S. population. TRIM3's annual "baseline" simulations (simulations of actual program rules) are used to correct for the underreporting of transfer program benefits in the survey files used as input to TRIM3, and to create other variables—such as program eligibility indicators—unavailable in the input data. Registered public users can access the micro-level variables produced by the model's baseline simulations, as well as the model's historical library of program rules.
Welfare Rules Database
A longitudinal database tracking state AFDC/TANF policies, the Welfare Rules Database provides a comprehensive, sophisticated resource for anyone comparing cash assistance programs between states, researching changes in cash assistance rules within a single state, or simply looking for the most up-to-date information on the rules governing cash assistance in one state.
