Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (RDCs)are partnerships between federal statistical agencies and research institutions. They are secure facilities providing authorized access to restricted-use microdata for statistical research purposes only. This data is currently restricted and difficult to obtain.
The Office of Research Development & Commercialization is collecting research proposals from UNTHSC researchers that are interested in statistical analysis of non-public Census microdata. These proposals will go into an application to open an RDC in the Dallas/Fort Worth regional area.
If funded, the center will offer UNTHSC researchers with approved projects access to a wide range of restricted-use data collected by federal statistical agencies.
Researchers are encouraged to submit a short project write-up at https://qtrial2014az1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8q5p4xAlLRs6rUp
Please respond by July 3rd.
If you have questions about the submission process please contact Aurelio Rodriguez at Aurelio.Rodriguez@unthsc.edu.
