Application Portal for Restricted Application Portal for Restricted Data for Federal Statistics Data for Federal Statistics ResearchDataGov Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee December 2019 Barbara Downs Heather Madray U.S. Census Bureau
Evolution of the Portal In 2018, the Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC) Technical Working Group began working on a common application that could serve the needs of all partnering FSRDC federal agencies. Participating agencies included the Bureau of Economic Analysis, IRS Statistics of Income Division, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Census Bureau. Business processes for each agency were mapped and common touchpoints identified. 2
Evolution of the Portal, Continued In December of 2018, the Foundations for Evidence-Based Decision Making legislation was passed. The Foundations bill required that the Office of Management and Budget establish a common portal and application for researchers to request access to restricted use data. Due to the FSRDC Technical Working Group s initial work on a common application, OMB requested that their work be leveraged to develop the common application portal. 3
Evolution of the Portal, Continued The Census Bureau entered into an agreement with the University of Michigan s ICPSR to develop a common portal to request access to restricted use data. The contract was awarded at the end of September 2019. The site is called the Application Portal for Restricted Data for Federal Statistics or ResearchDataGov. The FSRDC partnering agencies have worked with ICPSR to develop the portal and initial application. Recently, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics joined the working group. The site will go live on December 17, 2019 4
Project Phases We are currently in phase 1 of the portal construction which will continue through the end of September 2020. Phase 1 includes development of the portal and a basic application that is routed to individual agencies for their review, disposition, and recording of a final decision in the portal. Phase 2 will involve developing a full application, greater tracking functionality, and an appeals process. Phase 2 of the application will be competed with a new contract awarded. Phase 2 will include 17 statistical agencies and units as participants in the process. 5
