Based at the University of Michigan, ICPSR has been preserving research data and training researchers for over 60 years. If you\u2019re looking for large data sets related to public policy, political science, sociology, education, public health, and more, chances are that ICPSR is a great place to start your search. (DePaul University is a member institution which means that DePaul students, faculty, and staff have access to the full suite of datasets and services offered by the consortium.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Summer Program, which launched in 1963, has provided opportunities for over 25,000 researchers to get hands-on experience with statistical methods and data analysis and to build their professional networks.
