Feature:
Census 2000 at ICPSR
This site seeks to provide information about all Census 2000 data and documentation files, training activities, links to relevant sites for Census users, and guidelines to aid researchers and information professionals in the use of these files.
Child Care and Early Education Research Connections
Research Connections (RC) offers a comprehensive, easily searchable
collection of more than 10,000 resources from the many disciplines
related to child care and early education. The site offers the most
current publications, as well as links to child care policy statements.
Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences (Data-PASS)
Funded by the Library of Congress, Data-PASS acquires and preserves data from opinion polls, voting records, large-scale surveys, and other social science studies, many of which are considered at risk of being lost.
Data Sharing for Demographic Research (DSDR)
DSDR provides resources to demographic data producers and users, including confidentiality and disclosure review, restricted data contract development and data dissemination, a searchable index of important demography and population study data, and a catalogue of publications using data indexed.
Minority Data Resource Center
(MDRC)
MDRC provides data resources for the comparative analysis of issues affecting racial and ethnic minority populations in the United States.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Data Archive
(SAMHDA)
SAMHDA provides public data access and online analysis for important substance abuse and mental health data collections. The project offers variable-level searching, an archive of survey instruments, related literature for data collections, a listserv, disclosure analysis, and traditional data products.
National Archive of Criminal Justice Data
(NACJD)
NACJD facilitates research in criminal justice and criminology through the preservation, enhancement, and sharing of computerized data resources. NACJD also promotes original research based on archived data and proivdes specialized training workshops in quantitative analysis of crime and justice data.
Data Documentation Initiative (DDI)
The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is an emerging standard for social science metadata that is being developed by an international group called the DDI Alliance. Version 3.0 of the DDI documents the life cycle of research data from the start of a research project through data dissemination.
Health and Medical Care Archive (HMCA)
HMCA preserves and disseminates
data collected by research projects funded by The Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to
improving the health and health care of all Americans.
Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES)
CPES provides data on the distributions, correlates, and risk factors of mental disorders among the general population, with special emphasis on minority groups. CPES permits the investigation of cultural and ethnic influences on mental health.
Terrorism & Preparedness Data Resource Center (TPDRC)
TPDRC archives and distributes data collected by government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and researchers about the nature of intra- (domestic) and international terrorism incidents, organizations, perpetrators, and victims; governmental and nongovernmental responses to terror and citizen's attitudes towards terrorism, terror incidents, and the response to terror.
International Data Resource Center (IDRC)
As the international community is drawn closer together through the phenomenon of globalization, access to international data has become critical for scholars and researchers around the world. Finding reliable data sources that reflect international dimensions can be difficult. In an effort to meet the growing demands for international data, ICPSR has created the International Data Resource Center (IDRC). The IDRC acts as a clearinghouse for international data housed at ICPSR.
Online Learning Center (OLC)
The OLC is the result of discussions with teaching faculty about using data in their classrooms and the challenges such undertakings can entail. Instructors directed ICPSR to develop tools that would: 1) quickly locate relevant data that are easy to work with and that nicely demonstrate the concept(s), and 2) enable the instructor to customize the materials to their own teaching approach and syllabus.
TIGER/Line Files @ ICPSR
ICPSR has created this Web site to permit users to download various versions of the Census Bureau's TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) database. Data for individual states can be downloaded from the maps or menu interfaces associated with each of the TIGER versions listed on the site.
PreK-3rd Data Resource Center
The goal of this project is to inform the Foundation for Child Development's PreK-3rd initiative and build the research field by facilitating the analysis of rich, complex, longitudinal datasets that contain a wide range of variables on the child, family, school, and neighborhood.
