Morrison Hall, home of the new ISBR

The IU Research Data Commons has joined the newly launched Institute for Social and Behavioral Research. This new institute, which brings together five existing centers, aims to boost efficiency, collaboration, and innovation. In addition to the RDC, the new institute unites the Social Science Research Commons, the IU Center for Survey Research, the Center for Evaluation, Policy, and Research, and the Indiana Statistical Consulting Center, in an effort to streamline services, strengthen research proposals, and generate cost savings, while still maintaining their crucial role in supporting research. Additional key features of the institute include the Federal Statistical Research Data Center and the Research & Evaluation Design Support (REDS) for Grant Proposals program. From its new home, the Research Data Commons will continue to enact its core mission of supporting production, sharing, and collaboration around research data infrastructure. The Research Data Commons serves and provides support to research in all disciplines, across all IU campuses.
