Are you a student, faculty, or other UR researcher who located a data set that you need to purchase for your research? Depending on your status and your research need, the UR River Campus Libraries has two different programs that can assist you in obtaining funds for the data you need: A Data Set Grant fund and a Social Sciences/Humanities Data Purchase Program.  The following chart will help you determine which is the right one for you.  

If you have any questions on this diagram, or our data set programs, please contact Kathy Wu and we will be happy to assist you.

Please begin by looking at the chart below to learn about criteria and processes for both types of programs. Note that undergraduates and graduates can begin exploring both below paths, while faculty and other researchers are eligible only for the Data Purchase Program option.
