NB-IRDT is expanding research potential through pseudonymised, linkable data sets. Our repository includes a growing collection to meet diverse research needs.
We only host pseudonymous data in the NB-IRDT repository.
It’s data that has had direct identifiers removed or scrambled. We do not hold direct identifiers (names, Medicare numbers and addresses) in our data repository.
NB-IRDT also offers public use data sets, which consist of de-identified data that is publicly accessible. All our data can be accessed in the NB-IRDT lab spaces.
Our data is also linkable which expands research possibilities. As a research data centre, NB-IRDT plays an important role in helping researchers link multiple administrative data sets. This includes linking two or more NB-IRDT data sets as well as linking NB-IRDT data with external data sets accessible to, or held by, the applicant.
