Michigan
Located on Central Campus, the Michigan Federal Statistical Research Data Center (MRDC) is housed in the Institute for Social Research. The MRDC is a joint project of the U.S. Census Bureau and the University of Michigan to enable qualified researchers with approved projects to access nonpublic statistical agency data in order to conduct research that benefits statistical agency programs. The MRDC is supported by the Provost of the University of Michigan, the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, Michigan State University, and fees charged to researchers. Access to the MRDC is provided at no charge to University of Michigan and Michigan State University faculty and graduate students. Other researchers should inquire to the MRDC for fee and subsidy information.

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.
