Discover available data through the FSRDC and the proposal process on October 11 at 3:30pm in 291 Clark Hall or through Zoom! Open to the Cornell community.
Cornell Federal Statistical Research Data Center
Almost all FSRDCs are located at research institutions in large metropolitan areas. Cornell is unique in having this resource available in our rural community. This facility allows researchers to work locally with restricted-access federal data, removing the need to travel to New York City, the Washington, D.C. area, or elsewhere.
The Cornell Center for the Social Sciences coordinates the relationship with the U.S. Census Bureau for Cornell and houses the secure facility that the Census Bureau manages at 391 Pine Tree Rd.
Reservations are required. The reservation system ensures that researchers will have a workstation available when they come to the RDC, and it is used to produce RDC usage statistics. Researchers on approved projects who have scheduled an orientation can make reservations at Cornell RDC: Cornell RDC Reservations (signupgenius.com).
Masks are optional as long as the COVID-19 community level for Tompkins County is low or medium. If the community level is high, then masks will be required in the RDC.
Contact the RDC Administrator to initiate a new research project proposal. Researchers not affiliated with Cornell or any of the NYRDC consortium members may contact the RDC Executive Director for questions regarding access fees.
