The Independent Census Scientific Advisory Committee (I-CSAC) will hold its Spring 2026 virtual meeting on Thursday, March 26, from 2:00 – 5:00 PM ET. 

Agenda highlights include:

• Population Estimate Methodology Using New Data on Immigrants
• Administrative Records Coverage by Race/Ethnicity
• The Race/Ethnicity Coding Improvement Project 

This meeting is also a chance for outside experts and stakeholders to weigh in on any census-related topic. Although Census Bureau staff will not participate in the meeting, all public comments will be transmitted to the Census Bureau alongside I-CSAC's recommendations. Submitting a comment ensures your perspective is included in the record and helps shape the quality and integrity of census data. 

More information is posted on the meeting website, along with a link for the livestream.
