The Triangle RDCs are comprised of two locations. The RDCs are located at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The RDCs are jointly supported by Duke, UNC, and RTI International (RTI). The Duke RDC is operated by the Duke Social Science Research Institute (SSRI); the UNC RDC is operated by the UNC Carolina Population Center (CPC). Founded in 1999, the Duke RDC was the first RDC located in the southern United States.

Partner Institutions

The operation of each Federal Statistical Research Data Center (RDC) is supported by both the Census Bureau and RDC partner institutions. Some RDC partner institutions form consortiums to share the operational costs of the RDC and may waive user fees for their affiliates. Several RDCs have built branch locations to reduce the cost of researchers commuting to the core location while still maintaining the identical stringent information technology and physical security requirements.
