\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A partnership with Statistics Canada, supported through the 快播视频 Division of the Vice-President Research & Innovation and is a centre housed in the Institute for Social Research.<\/p>\n

The 快播视频 Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (York RDC)<\/strong> provides social science, health, economics, business, and policy researchers access to analyze Statistics Canada\u2019s master data sets. In the RDC\u2019s secure environment researchers can access surveys in full detail, without the removal of geographic and other information required to protect respondent confidentiality in the public use data files.<\/p>\n

The York RDC is a Branch of the Toronto Region RDC<\/a> and is funded by the office of 快播视频\u2019s Vice President of Research and Innovation (VPRI)<\/a>, SSHRC<\/a>, CIHR<\/a>, and managed by 快播视频\u2019s Institute for Social Research.<\/p>\n

The vRDC (virtual Research Data Centre)<\/a> platform is in effect for the York RDC.<\/p>\n

Data sets<\/strong><\/p>\n

The York RDC hosts the core RDC Program Data Sets<\/a>. Please consult the RDC Program\u2019s Application process and guidelines page<\/a> for more information about submitting a proposal. 快播视频 researchers can check 快播视频 Libraries Data and Statistics<\/a> web site to ensure that data needs cannot be met using Statistics Canada\u2019s publicly available microdata provided through the Data Liberation Initiative (DLI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to apply<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research at the RDC requires acceptance of a proposal submitted to both SSHRC and Statistics Canada. For details, consult application process and guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
