Research Data Center (RDC)
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) operates the Research Data Center (RDC) to allow researchers access to restricted-use data. The RDC is responsible for protecting the confidentiality of survey respondents, study subjects, or institutions while providing access to the restricted-use data for statistical purposes. For access to the restricted-use data, researchers must submit a research proposal outlining the need for restricted-use data. The proposal provides a framework for NCHS to identify potential disclosure risks and how the data will be used.
Preparing for Proposal Submission
Data from Other Agencies
The NCHS RDC makes restricted-use data from other agencies available to researchers.
Other federal agencies interested in having NCHS RDC make their restricted-use data available may contact rdca@cdc.gov .
