About the Center
The Kentucky Research Data Center (KRDC) is a collaboration between the University of Kentucky and the U.S. Census Bureau established by a grant from the National Science Foundation in 2016.
KRDC is part of the nationwide system of Federal Statistical Research Data Centers whose mission is to expand the data infrastructure available to qualified scholars and students with approved projects by providing access to restricted individual- and firm-level data from participating federal statistical agencies.
KRDC is maintained by a regional consortium of leading research institutions, including the University of Kentucky, Indiana University, and The Ohio State University.
The lab is located on the University of Kentucky campus in the Gatton College of Business and Economics Building.
