Share Citations with CFData
If you have published or presented on data disseminated by CFData, you can share your citation with us by emailing bibliography@icpsr.umich.edu. This increases the visibility of your work and helps us track the impact of our data.
Deposit Data
CFData primarily accepts deposits of data from research projects funded by and preselected for archiving by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). If your study was identified by OPRE for archiving, please visit our Data Deposit page for more information.
If your research produced data about early care and education, families, children, or similar topics but OPRE has not identified your study for inclusion in the CFData Archive, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) has several ways you can archive and share your data. Please email us at CFData-help@umich.edu to discuss what options might be available to you.
