CRSP: About

About CRSP

The UCI RCIC (Research Cyber-Infrastructure Center) manages CRSP (the Campus Research Storage Pool), an enterprise-grade storage system designed for researchers.  CRSP is organized into labs.  The Nielsen Datasets are stored and organized into a lab within CRSP.  

  • UCI Tenure-Track Faculty
    UCI Campus Research Storage Pool (CRSP) offers pre-created accounts to all UCI tenure-track faculty. 
     
  • UCI PhDs & Postdocs
    You may request to have a sub-account made for you in CRSP.  It will be under the tenure-track faculty member whom you list as your advisor for the Nielsen Datasets.  
     
  • Visit this Access page for instructions on how to request access to the Nielsen Datasets within CRSP.

     

More About the Nielsen Datasets in CRSP

  • Populating the Nielsen Datasets into CRSP was a team effort involving several people across many groups: the UCI Libraries, UCI Research Cyberinfrastructure Center (RCIC), Social Sciences Computing Services (SSCS), and the Kilts Center at the Chicago Booth School of Business.  
  • The UCI Libraries get emails from the Kilts Center regarding the Nielsen Datasets.  When the Kilts Center makes new data available, the UCI Libraries IT staff manually transfer it to a special account within the RCIC dedicated to the Nielsen Datasets.  
  • The Nielsen Datasets in the UCI Libraries' account in CRSP contains essentially* all of the data that the Kilts Center offers in the Nielsen Datasets product.  If you think something is missing, please email Annette Buckley, and she will investigate!

    * We say essentially because there may be a few-day lag for this workflow:
     
    • The UCI Libraries get an email from the Kilts Center about new data.
    • Libraries IT pull the data using the Globus File Transfer system that Kilts uses.
    • Libraries IT put the data into CRSP. 

 

We appreciate your patience and understanding!
