Wasatch Front Research Data Center (WFRDC)
Opened in August 2020, the Wasatch Front Research Data Center (WFRDC) is a member of the national network of Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDC), and serves the urban core of Utah, often called the Wasatch Front, as well as the state and the Intermountain region.
The WFRDC is a secure research environment used by qualified researchers with approved projects where they can analyze restricted data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and other federal statistical agencies. Major research institutions along the Wasatch Front, including the University of Utah, Utah State University, and Brigham Young University are invited to propose RDC studies in demography, population health, economics, and geographic and spatial analysis. The WFRDC also supports approved projects that link selected data from the Utah-specific health data housed in the Utah Population Database to the restricted data in the FSRDC network.
Executive Director
Lori Kowaleski-Jones is a sociologist, with training in family demography and public policy. Her current work is centered on the physical and social health of individuals with a focus on how public policy, food insecurity, neighborhood environments, and family factors maximize individual well-being across the life course.

Partner Institutions
The operation of each Federal Statistical Research Data Center (RDC) is supported by both the Census Bureau and RDC partner institutions. Some RDC partner institutions form consortiums to share the operational costs of the RDC and may waive user fees for their affiliates. Several RDCs have built branch locations to reduce the cost of researchers commuting to the core location while still maintaining the identical stringent information technology and physical security requirements.
