Abstract: MCC is committed to providing public access to high-value
data collected as part of the development, implementation, and
evaluation of MCC-funded foreign assistance programs, while being
equally committed to protecting the confidentiality of individuals and
organizations from which the data is collected. To achieve these twin
aims, MCC publishes de-identified public use files of microdata on its
website through the MCC Evidence Platform. In addition, MCC makes
restricted data files available in cases where the de-identification
efforts for public use files would significantly impair the analytic
potential of the data, or where the data contains highly sensitive
information that cannot be shared as a public-use file. However, access
to restricted data is only granted to users who meet eligibility
criteria and agree to terms of access established by MCC, including
agreeing to follow strict requirements for maintaining data
confidentiality. The MCC Restricted Data Use Application collects
information that is used by MCC and its data steward, the University of
Michigan's Interagency Consortium for Political and Social Research
(ICPSR), to evaluate whether respondents qualify for access to MCC's
restricted data. The application, which is submitted electronically,
requires the provision of specific information by the respondent, such
as (i) the name, contact information, and CV/Resume/Biosketch for each
person that will access the restricted data, (ii) a research proposal
describing the need for the data and how it will be used, (iii)
evidence of Institutional Review Board approval or exemption of the
research proposal, and (iv) a signed restricted data use agreement.
