In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, Pitt has opened the Pittsburgh Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC), a flagship federal program overseen by the U.S. Census Bureau, in the Cathedral of Learning. The FSRDC program consists of 37 centers nationwide, which provide access to detailed federal data in a secure environment, enabling researchers to investigate questions that cannot be answered with publicly available datasets.
Faculty co-directors are Randy Walsh, Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, and Brian Kovak, CMU’s Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy. Rob Cunningham, Vice Chancellor for Research Infrastructure, is executive director, and Emily Greenman, Pennsylvania State University FSRDC, serves as interim facility director.
