About Us

The UBC Research Data Centre is a research facility of  The University of British Columbia. It is part of the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN). This collaborative initiative aims to strengthen Canada’s social research capacity, support policy-relevant research, and provide insights on important issues by increasing the use of Statistics Canada’s rich data for academic and policy-relevant research.

We facilitate access to data for crucial social and economic research while protecting the confidentiality and security of Canadians’ information. The RDC Network program encourages researchers to collaborate on team projects. The UBC RDC can support both individual and team research projects. We can also facilitate team projects conducted in more than one RDC within British Columbia and across Canada.

Sylvia Fuller is the Academic Director of the UBC RDC.
