Confidentiality and Data Access Committee (CDAC)

The Confidentiality and Data Access Committee (CDAC) is an FCSM interest group focusing on issues related to statistical disclosure limitation (de-identification) and controlled access to confidential data. CDAC's membership primarily includes federal employees from across government who manage their agencies' Disclosure Review Boards and tiered-data access programs. CDAC serves as an information-sharing forum to foster collaboration on current research activities, to explore new research ideas, and to provide assistance to agencies across government on confidentiality and data access issues

CDAC is sponsored by the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology to provide a forum for staff members of Federal statistical agencies who work on confidentiality and data access topics to communicate among themselves, exchange ideas, etc.

Please contact the group chair(s) if you are a federal employee and interested in participating.
