This award will support the establishment of the Florida Research Data Center (FRDC) at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. The FRDC is supported by a partnership between UF and Florida State University (FSU). The FRDC will provide medical and social science researchers access to restricted-use data collected by federal agencies. In addition to researchers at UF, FSU and their teaching hospitals, scientists from University of Central Florida, University of South Florida, Moffitt Cancer Center, and state agencies in Florida will be able to use the FRDC to advance research in numerous fields. The FRDC will serve multiple research communities, including health, medical, social, behavioral, demographic, and economic. Residents in Florida and across the country will benefit when practitioners apply the results of this research to translational science and broader issues shaping public policy. Although the research profile of the FRDC will address topics of national and international interest, many researchers will address current problems in Florida that may serve as a bell-weather for problems in other states. The FRDC also will be used across the region as a training resource for undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral associates. These researchers-in-training will benefit from working on research projects using the data available from the FRDC, giving them a more robust experience in their scientific education.The FRDC will join the community of Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDCs) as an important asset to regional researchers. Because long-distance travel to other FSRDCs will be unnecessary, researchers previously not able to purse their research because of the time and expense of this travel will find new opportunities to expand their scientific portfolio. Researchers who have used other FSRDCs will be able to accomplish their projects more efficiently and cost-effectively. A focus point for this FRDC will be the integration of population and health data with U.S. Census microdata. With this new resource available more locally, interdisciplinary and interinstitutional collaborations among researchers in the area will be enhanced. Investigator access to restricted-use data will expand research thereby contributing to scientific fields. Society at large will benefit from advances in medical and health outcome research made possible by this new resource.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学建立佛罗里达研究数据中心(FRDC)。FRDC得到了UF和佛罗里达州立大学(FSU)之间的合作伙伴关系的支持。FRDC将为医学和社会科学研究人员提供访问联邦机构收集的限制使用数据的权限。除了密歇根大学、佛罗里达州立大学及其教学医院的研究人员外，来自中佛罗里达大学、南佛罗里达大学、莫菲特癌症中心和佛罗里达州各州机构的科学家将能够利用FRDC推进许多领域的研究。FRDC将为多个研究社区提供服务，包括健康、医学、社会、行为、人口统计和经济。当实践者将这项研究的结果应用于翻译科学和影响公共政策的更广泛问题时，佛罗里达州和全国各地的居民将受益。尽管FRDC的研究概况将讨论国家和国际感兴趣的主题，但许多研究人员将解决佛罗里达州目前的问题，这些问题可能会成为其他州问题的导火索。FRDC还将在整个区域用作本科生和研究生以及博士后助理的培训资源。这些受训研究人员将受益于利用FRDC提供的数据开展研究项目，使他们在科学教育中获得更强大的体验。FRDC将加入联邦统计研究数据中心(FSRDC)的社区，作为地区研究人员的重要资产。由于到其他FSRDC的长途旅行将是不必要的，研究人员将找到新的机会来扩大他们的科学组合。以前，由于这次旅行的时间和费用原因，研究人员无法购买他们的研究成果。使用其他FSRDC的研究人员将能够更高效、更具成本效益地完成他们的项目。FRDC的一个重点将是人口和健康数据与美国人口普查微数据的整合。随着这一新资源更多地在当地获得，该领域研究人员之间的跨学科和跨机构合作将得到加强。研究人员获得受限使用数据将扩大研究，从而为科学领域作出贡献。整个社会将受益于这一新资源在医疗和健康结果研究方面的进步。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
