Collaborations between RDCs September 2017 and September 2023

This figure illustrates the high degree of collaboration between researchers at the RDCs and the increase since 2017.  Node size and color intensity shows the number of active projects at each RDC.  Edge size and color intensity shows the number of collaborations between node pairs (edges representing single collaborations between RDCs are omitted).

Remote Access

The Census Bureau provides secure remote virtual access for a select number of FSRDC researchers whose projects involve only Title 13 data.  As of September 2023, 74 projects were eligible for remote virtual access (12.9 percent of all active FSRDC projects), and 57 projects (accounting for 77 percent of eligible projects) were using remote virtual access.
