- CSDE (Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology) & UWDC (Data Collaborative): CSDE supports population research and training at the University of Washington by advancing knowledge on migration, health, family change, and other demographic trends. The UWDC provides the infrastructure to harness innovative, but hard-to-access and highly sensitive data for the development of novel, high-quality research and evidence-driven policy making. It includes a computing cluster that provides access to sensitive and/or restricted data in a secure and computationally sophisticated environment.
Cooperative loan arrangements
There are currently no established cooperative loan relationships for electronic datasets.
Cooperative acquisitions programs
Cooperative/collaborative acquisition agreements are encouraged, especially for datasets of broad interest or high cost that are of use to a large population of UW researchers.
