At Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDCs), researchers use restricted-access microdata to address important research questions. Excel workbooks containing metadata about active and completed projects, including project title, abstract, FSRDC location, principal investigator, year project started, researchers, and datasets requested in project proposals are available for download. Other Excel workbooks containing bibliographic information about written research outputs produced by FSRDC projects in 2019-date are also available for download.
Currently metadata is only provided for projects that solely use Census Bureau datasets. Project information will be updated quarterly.
The latest versions of the project metadata and research outputs workbooks can also be downloaded from https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/about/ongoing-projects.html.
Previous versions can be found on via the Tags page at https://github.com/uscensusbureau/fsrdc-external-census-projects/tags.
NOTE: The Census Bureau's Github has either disappeared or been made private. The last snapshot on the Internet Archive has no more recent information than the information in this forked repository (though the website claims to have publication information as of January 27, 2025, which is not supported by the linked Excel file's metadata).
