About

Policy Connector is a customizable policy knowledge management application. It simplifies the complex task of navigating government policy information, which often resides across a variety of platforms and sources — both internal and external.

The challenge of conducting policy research and analysis can be time-consuming and burdensome. By centralizing and organizing a wide range of public policy sources — including regulation text, proposed and final rules, statute citations, court cases, executive orders and memos, subregulatory guidance, and other critical resources — Policy Connector makes it easier to find the information you need in one place. It is the ultimate tool for knowledge retention and staff training.

This demo shows how Policy Connector can be used to navigate and research federal employment policy.

How This Site Is Updated

Curated Links to Resources

To incorporate executive orders, memos, guidance, agency publications, and other kinds of resources, we add links to the database by hand and annotate them with related regulations and subjects. We make an effort to keep this site up to date, but we cannot promise a specific cadence of updates.

For production instances of Policy Connector, we automatically import links and documents from RSS feeds, APIs, and other sources of structured data.

Public Government APIs

This tool displays regulation text from eCFR. When new rules become effective, the Office of the Federal Register incorporates them into eCFR within two business days. This tool syncs with eCFR once a day using the eCFR API. So, it can take up to three business days for changes to be incorporated into this tool.

Links to new rules are pulled automatically from the Office of the Federal Register once a day, using the Federal Register API.

This tool also uses the GovInfo Link Service to provide links to past versions of regulations.
