NW Federal Statistics Research Data Center Re-Opens in a New Campus-Based Facility
Last year, when the NW Federal Statistics Research Data Center (NWFSRDC) was just about ready to re-open in a newly renovated space on campus in the basement of the Communications Building, COVID-19 shut everything down. The good news is that the facility is now back open with all of the safety protocols in place. This facility enables researchers to access restricted-use data that are collected through Federal agencies. There are four types of data available: Demographic data, Economic data, Linked business and household data, Public health data. If you are interested in working in the NWFSRDC, don’t hesitate to contact CSDE Affiliate Mark Ellis or the NWFSRDC Administrator Carlos Becerra.
