The Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (RDC): Suppoting access to micro-data at McMaster University

This session follows four themes. First, it will describe the RDC, the principal data it supports and the application process. Second, it will discuss the growth in administrative and linked administrative data files being made available by Statistics Canada. Third, it will highlight some of the pilot data, particularly business related, that the RDC hosts. The session concludes with a discussion on how the McMaster RDC and Data Services (DLI) has worked together to promote the use of data on campus to meet the needs of researchers.
