At Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDCs), researchers use restricted-access microdata to address important research questions. An Excel spreadsheet containing metadata about active and completed projects, including project title, abstract, FSRDC location, principal investigator, year project started, researchers, and datasets requested in project proposals is available for download below.

Currently metadata is only provided for projects that are managed by the Census Bureau, either alone or in partnership with other statistical agencies. Project information will be updated quarterly. Previous versions are available on the Census Bureau’s Github site.

We are also posting for download on this site a list of research outputs (papers, articles, dissertations, etc.) produced from 2000 to date by external research projects managed by the Census Bureau. We have made every effort to maintain a complete and accurate list of research outputs, but omissions and errors may yet remain. Please send an email to ADRM.CED.FSRDC.External.Research.Outputs.List@census.gov if you want to update or correct the information on this list.
