The data found in the RDCs has been referenced in over 5,000 publications. Our researchers investigate socio-economic and health topics as well as cross-cutting topics related to Indigenous Peoples, gender, racial and ethnic issues, and housing and homelessness.

The Network provides unique access to Statistics Canada data on 33 campuses across the country to advance knowledge and inform public policy.

We offer events, conferences, and training opportunities all year long. We are also proud to promote our partners’ and researchers’ events to contribute to a vibrant research community.

CRDCN is funded by SSHRC, CIHR, CFI, the FRQ, Statistics Canada and our 42 primary and affiliated partner universities.

We share information from around the Network in our quarterly newsletter called The Networker- Economic, social and health data that matters.

RDC microdata come primarily from Statistics Canada Survey Master files. We also provide access to administrative records including tax, employment insurance, social assistance, and hospitalization records.

We share jobs of interest to our research community.

Thanks to the commitment and support of our funders, researchers, and partners, we continue to grow and increase the impact of CRDCN enabled research.
