Wondering how to get access to non-public data from the Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics, or other Federal Agencies? If so, this webinar might be for you!

The CUNY Graduate Center will host a webinar on using restricted-access government data at the New York Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (NYRDC) on December 8th from 2:30-3:30pm.  

The NYRDC is part of the Federal Statistical Research Data Center Network.  The Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDCs) are secure computing labs where qualified researchers can conduct approved statistical analysis on non-public data from federal statistical agencies such as the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.  The NYRDC operates three labs, one at Baruch College, one at Cornell University, and one at Yale University.

Membership in the NYRDC Consortium covers access fees for faculty members, graduate students, and researchers affiliated with member institutions.  CUNY is a member of the NYRDC Consortium, so access to the lab is free.

More information about the NYRDC is available on the NYRDC website.

The webinar will:

• Provide examples of the types of questions that can be addressed using RDC data

• Describe the restricted-access demographic, economic, health and other data available through the NYRDC

• Explain the process of applying to use the NYRDC

The webinar will be conducted by Shirley Liu, Administrator of the NYRDC-Baruch (shirley.h.liu@census.gov) and Diane Gibson, Executive Director of the NYRDC-Baruch (diane.gibson@baruch.cuny.edu) and is facilitated by Stephen Klein (sklein@gc.cuny.edu), Digital Services Librarian at the CUNY Graduate Center.
