Across all stages of a data-intensive social science research project, DISSC can help you navigate the various resources you may need.

Computing and Storage Environments

Yale researchers have access to several different research computing environments including several certified for secure or sensitive data. Key resources are linked below. The DISSC also maintains a non-networked workstation for those researchers who require such an environment to house their data.

Please email us at dissc@yale.edu, and we can help you find the appropriate resources.

Social Science Research Software

DISSC serves as the sponsor for several titles used by Yale faculty across the social science disciplines including SAS, Stata, Nvivo, and Trint. If you are interested in using any of these, or if there is software that you think Yale should support, please let us know.

Data-Related Services

DISSC is here to help with many of the services researchers need related to the acquisition of data. Please reach out for help with: Negotiating for the use of private datasets, conducting survey research, webscraping, and other data services.
