      </h1>
	  
       
        <p>IPSR is a respository for Kansas data and a hub of interdisciplinary
          policy research.  As such, GIS plays a critical role in IPSR's research
          and data services.  IPSR's primary use of GIS incorporates the U.S.
          Census Bureau's TIGER&reg; data  with Census and other demographic
          and socio-economic data on the State of Kansas. <br>
          <br>
