How to conduct research in an RDC: A walk-through of the steps you’ll need to submit a proposal and analyze non-public microdata.

In this hour-long session, Ted Mouw (Sociology) will walk you through the steps needed to submit a proposal and analyze non-public microdata at UNC’s new branch of the Triangle Research Data Center, part of the Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC) program. Under this program, the Census Bureau and other agencies allows researchers with approved proposals to perform statistical analysis on non-public microdata from a variety of statistical agencies to address important research questions.
