With a crisp chill in the air of Ann Arbor and the brilliant colors of fall  
ablaze, it's autumn at ICPSR and time for our fall edition of DataBytes !

The 2014 Data Fair in Review!

Over 338 attendees from 141 institutions joined us for 14 webcasts in early  
October to explore research data programs that power sustainable data  
access. ICPSR's sponsored programs, membership archives, and open access  
data collection were featured along with updates on government requirements  
for data sharing. Did you miss it? Recordings and presentation slides can  
all be found on ICPSR's YouTube Channel.

Save the Date - 2015 OR/DR Meeting

The 2015 OR/DR Meeting will take place September 30 - October 2, 2015.

Registration Still Open for November 13 Webinar: Drug Use among Young  
American Indians - Exploring the Data

More than 100 have registered for this webinar workshop where the goal is  
to expose investigators to the Drug Use among Young American Indians:  
Epidemiology and Prediction study and the data available for 2001-2006 and  
2009-2013. This dataset contains detailed information on 16,590 adolescents  
in 7th to 12th grade in schools. Over 52% of the respondents reported being  
American Indian. This webinar is featured by ICPSR's National Addiction &  
HIV Data Archive Program.

More Data for the Classroom - Racial Disparities in Health Care: A  
Data-Driven Learning Guide (DDLG)

A DDLG focusing on the core concept of racial disparities in health care  
has recently been released. Part of ICPSR's Resources for Instructors  
collection, the goal of this exercise is to explore racial disparities in  
health and health care in the US and to examine some of the barriers to  
access and quality health care. A gentle introduction to cross-tabulations  
is used in the guide.

Seeding Branded Public Access for Institutions and Journals
openicpsr brochure cover
openICPSR, a public-access, data-sharing service launched in early 2014.  
Shortly after launch and by request, ICPSR began working on openICPSR for  
Institutions and Journals, an economical approach for institutions and  
journals to share research data with the public without the need for  
technical administration staff. In early 2015, institutions and journals  
can brand their own data sharing service utilizing the infrastructure  
(cloud) and benefits of openICPSR!

Giving Thanks for Great Leadership

ICPSR held its fall Council Meeting on October 16-17, 2014. In addition to  
a full agenda, the Council and Staff bid a fond farewell to Rogelio Saenz,  
who attended his last meeting as the Past Chair of the ICPSR Council. ICPSR  
thanks Dr. Saenz for his years of service and leadership!
