Harvard Dataverse deposits including data from a number of federal agencies. “The purpose of this sub-collection is to store critical climate and health datasets accessible at various locations in one place. Because these datasets are extracted with minimal modification, complete metadata that notes where appropriate citation data can be found is especially important to note.”

Here is gathered bibliographic information about 22,695 research items (journal articles etc.) as compiled by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS; part of the US federal government's National Institutes of Health) for its Climate Change and Human Health Literature Portal (CCHHL).
