> Dear Faculty,
>
> As some of you have heard, FSU, in partnership with UF as the project 
> lead, has secured funding from the National Science Foundation for 
> starting a secure Federal Statistical Research Data Center (RDC). Dr.
> Joe Grzywacz (College of Human Sciences) and I are the project leads 
> here at FSU. The Florida RDC facility will be housed at UF in 
> Gainesville and is anticipated to be operational later in 2021. An 
> overview of the planned center can be found here:
>
> https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/locations/florida.html
>
> UF has developed a job advertisement for an RDC administrator, which 
> is attached to this email. Feel free to distribute the notice as you 
> see fit.
>
> Utilization of the new facility at UF will be encouraged via multiple 
> approaches. Among the RDC’s plans are the creation of a seed grant 
> program aimed at facilitating access to the new facility, and it is 
> possible that the seed grant program might assign some priority to 
> graduate student-led research. These discussions are still ongoing and 
> more information will be forthcoming. A summary of the data available 
> from RDCs may be found here:
>
> https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/about.html
>
> I know several folks had ideas for possible research projects that 
> they might undertake if they had access to these protected data. As we 
> move forward, I would be happy to discuss where you are with these 
> project ideas and if the topics remain of interest to you. At that 
> same time, I’d be keen to know about additional ideas faculty might 
> have for utilizing Census RDC resources to access protected data.
>
> Thank you for your time. Please feel free to share this update with 
> anyone you feel I may have missed on the email, and do not hesitate to 
> contact me directly with any follow up questions or concerns. More 
> information will be forthcoming as additional details of the RDC and 
> its programs take shape.
