The Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) was a collaboration between two distinct research grants funded by the ESRC, each led by UCL and the University of Leeds.

Research funding is typically time-limited, and when the CDRC was established in 2014, it was intended to operate for five years. Its success attracted additional funding, allowing it to remain operational until April 2025. At that point, the ESRC ceased its support for the CDRC data service and instead created a larger Smart Data Research service (SDR UK).

We are pleased to announce that the majority of CDRC's data and activities have now been transferred to two new SDR UK services: the Geographic Data Service (led by UCL) and the SDR UK Healthy and Sustainable Places (led by the University of Leeds).

Users are encouraged to visit and register for the new and improved Geographic Data Service data catalogue to continue accessing the data they need.

Please note that CDRC user accounts have been securely deleted and are not transferred to these new data services. This does not impact users who currently have active projects; these will be supported until their completion. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

For data previously managed by the University of Leeds, they will soon be available through the Healthy and Sustainable Places data catalogue.
