Spring into ICPSR for a Bit!
While ICPSR's Perry Building awaits our return, spring continues, the flowers are out, and ICPSR is blossoming with many bits and bytes to share!
Enjoy Summer. Plan for Fall. The ICPSR Fall Data Fair Begins on September 21!
Save the date! More details for ICPSR’s fully online, five-day Data Fair will be announced soon. This Data Fair, the sixth of its kind, consists of 4-5 webinars per day focused on all things data. ICPSR staff, ICPSR Representatives, the ICPSR Council, and special guests come together online to train and inform. Watch for email and social media communications soon with registration beginning later this summer.
Plan for Fall 2021 - the ICPSR Biennial Meeting October 6-8, 2021
Another ICPSR Biennial Meeting is in the works! Block your calendars and plan to make a visit to the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor in 2021. In addition to beautiful fall foliage, you will enjoy immersion into delivering data services, data management and curation, all things ICPSR, and a bounty of networking. More information to come later this year!
The ICPSR Summer Program has Gone Virtual! Still Time to Register!
Based upon actions taken by the University of Michigan and other institutions to eliminate in-person classroom instruction this summer, the ICPSR Summer Program has decided that both of our four-week sessions usually held in Ann Arbor will be offered online. There is still time to register for the second session and several short workshops!

ICPSR Launches New Repository for COVID-19 Data
ICPSR has created a new archive for data examining the social, behavioral, public health, and economic impact of the novel coronavirus global pandemic. The COVID-19 Data Repository is a free, self-publishing option for any researcher or journalist who wants to share data related to COVID-19. The data will be available to any interested user for secondary analysis. We encourage deposits of data to help researchers and journalists understand and respond to the pandemic.
2020 Data Resource Page: Coronavirus, Activism, Policing, Census, Elections, and More
The year 2020 is turning out to be a year unlike any many of us have experienced in our lives. Keenly aware of major world events (both planned and unexpected) that will have our data users looking for resources, ICPSR staff have put together a 2020 Resources list that we will update throughout the year. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know at icpsr-help@umich.edu or fill out our submission form to suggest resources to add to the list.
Supporting Data Access through Challenging Times
We know that this is a challenging time to continue your work, including access to ICPSR data if you are off-campus and/or conducting critical research using ICPSR restricted data. Please note that member-affiliated MyData accounts may need to be authenticated. If you have questions or experience problems, please email us at ICPSR-help@umich.edu Need to create a MyData account? Enjoy this short video developed by the NACDA Program on Aging noting that MyData creation is a piece of cake and is the same across all of our projects.
