AidData is a research laboratory affiliated with William & Mary, based in Williamsburg, Virginia, that studies the effects of foreign policies and overseas investments. The organization focuses on data-poor environments where evidence is scarce, providing granular data, innovative tools, and rigorous analysis to help partners understand outcomes and allocate resources more precisely. Its multidisciplinary team includes economists, political scientists, geographers, developers, program evaluators, policy analysts, and media professionals. Together, they translate complex policy questions into evidence-based insights for decision makers and other stakeholders.

In 2024 AidData launched a Training Initiative to help government agencies, international organizations, development finance institutions, and private foundations better address the needs and perspectives of low- and middle-income countries. This effort extends its work from analysis into capacity building for partners, supporting more effective policy design and program implementation.
