Secure Transfer, Restricted-Use Data Lake (STRUDL) | U.S. Department of Labor

U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Secure Transfer, Restricted-Use Data Lake (STRUDL)
provides authorized external and internal researchers secure access to confidential data.
The program aims to support approved social science research projects that align with
DOL’s mission. In summary, the STRUDL allows researchers to address important
research questions of interest to the academic community, the general public, and DOL.
These data have already been paid for by the public and are being reutilized rather than
discarded. Storing and carefully reusing them ensures good stewardship. 
Approved researchers, those who submit a successful STRUDL application, can access,
link, and utilize restricted-use microdata from a variety of DOL sources. Prior to public
release, staff from DOL’s disclosure review process will review the analyses and statistics
on DOL data. Subject matter experts (SMEs) review the paper for factual accuracy only.
SMEs do not review authors’ tone, framing, or conclusions. Once cleared, researchers
