BEBR Director, Dr. Christopher McCarty, in collaboration with FSU, obtained a grant from the National Science Foundation to establish a Federal Statistical Research Data Center at the University of Florida (Florida Research Data Center). Only 32 of these data centers exist across the country with the Florida Research Data Center being the only one in Florida. In this center, authorized researchers with approved projects use federal microdata to advance science in ways impossible without the use of this data.
