Subject: Fw: NCHS data to be available at Census RDCs
The Center for Economic Studies (CES) is pleased to announce that the
Census Bureau has reached agreement with the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) to make NCHS data available to qualified researchers
through the Census Research Data Center (RDC) network.
Proposals will be accepted by CES beginning February 15, 2007 to use many
of the NCHS data sets (see the list below). NCHS will handle all proposal
review and also disclosure avoidance review for their data, and will charge
a small fee for creating the researcher's data extract. Standard Census RDC
access charges, if any, will apply. Proposals to use their data at any site
other than their headquarters site in Hyattsville MD will be submitted
through the standard Census RDC proposal process, but will not have to meet
Census Bureau standards, just NCHS standards (see the Guidelines on the
NCHS RDC website). (Proposals to use confidential data from both the Census
Bureau and the NCHS must use the existing Census Bureau application
procedure, and will also be reviewed by NCHS.)
All researchers will need to become Special Sworn Status (SSS) employees of
the Census Bureau -- in case of incidental access to confidential Census
Bureau or Internal Revenue Service data while in an RDC -- and will also be
required to become NCHS agents, and take the appropriate training for both
roles.
Researchers currently using the Hyattsville NCHS RDC site will be able to
transfer their research to a Census RDC site once they become SSS
employees. Contact the appropriate Census RDC Administrator for more
information on the SSS process.
For more information on the proposal process or the datasets, see the NCHS
RDC web site at
