The Brooklyn Civic Data Lab is a CUNY-affiliated research initiative dedicated to hyper-local, reproducible data science. Building on the foundational work of the M.S. Psychological Research program at Brooklyn College, the Lab serves as a bridge between academic rigor and civic action.
Our mission is to empower the next generation of Brooklyn-based analysts by applying open science principles to real-world urban challenges. Our researchers—drawn from the elite talent pool at Brooklyn College—transform raw city datasets into interactive, ground-truthed insights. Our work is guided by our proprietary '8-Legged' analytical framework, ensuring every project is reproducible, transparent, and community-aligned
