DSDR is a project of ICPSR in collaboration with the Carolina Population Center (CPC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Minnesota Population Center (MPC) at the University of Minnesota, the Population Studies Center (PSC) at the University of Michigan, the Hopkins Population Center (HPC) at Johns Hopkins University, and the Population Research Center at the RAND Corporation. The project is supported by the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

The first five (5) years of the DSDR project established the basis for a shared data infrastructure to support demographers housed in NICHD-funded population centers and those researchers whose data have particular relevance to demographic research. DSDR provides data archiving, preservation and dissemination as well as other data infrastructure services. DSDR continues to introduce new technologies, such as the online Restricted Contracting System (RCS) and data architecture to help reengineer the ways in which we provide these services. DSDR's goal continues to work toward a unified legal, technical, and substantive framework in which to share research data in the population sciences.
