CRISP

Based at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton, CRISP grew out of the Atlantic Centre for Policy Research, which was established in 1996. The name change, which took effect in January 2000, reflects the Institute's broader focus on the study of public policy on a national scale. The Institute has recently been designated a Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (RDC) which will give CRISP researchers primary access to a number of Statistics Canada microdata files, to be housed at UNB.
