Central Plains Federal Statistical Research Data Center – College of Business – University of Nebraska Lincoln

We are the first FSRDC to serve the Central Plains region with a point of access to restricted-use versions of important datasets maintained by the US Census Bureau and other federal agencies. The center hosts a secure computing lab where qualified researchers with approved projects can conduct research using restricted-use microdata. Our goal is to support and enhance research using federal restricted-use data.

About

Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDCs) are partnerships between federal statistical agencies and leading research institutions. They are secure facilities providing authorized access to restricted-use microdata for statistical purposes only. Staffed by a Census Bureau employee, the FSRDCs meet all physical and computer security requirements for access to restricted–use data.

Researchers with approved projects may access establishment level business data and/or unreleased household data. In many cases, linked economic data are available, which provide a huge corpus of information. Other benefits of these datasets include low level geo-spatial variables, less top and bottom coding, and larger samples.
