Support is being renewed for a landmark program of on-site research and visiting research fellowships operated by the American Statistical Association in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of the Census and the National Science Foundation. The program has been successful in bringing highly expert, well- established statisticians and social scientists on the faculties of major universities to the Census Bureau, the nation's front- line data collection agency, where they engage in research aimed at improving the adequacy of governmentally produced and disseminated socioeconomic information. Visiting fellows work with Census staff to tackle especially difficult problems in the handling and analysis of data. The results of these efforts are cumulating into more efficient and effective agency procedures, more reliable and interpretable data products, and the introduction of more real-worldliness into the basic research and teaching agenda of visiting scientists once they return to their home institutions. A special arrangement allowing fellows to compete for continued support of research begun at the Bureau represents a further innovation created under this program. Among other benefits, the freer flow of expertise and knowledge between governmental data producers and academic researchers is breaking down obstructions to the policy usefulness of quantitative data and, by increasing their scientific research potential, helping to amortize the huge annual investment this nation makes in their collection.

正在重新支持一个具有里程碑意义的现场项目， 研究和访问研究金，由 美国统计协会与 美国人口普查局和国家科学基金会。 该计划成功地带来了高度专家，以及- 在各学院建立了统计学家和社会科学家 人口普查局，国家的前线- 线数据收集机构，在那里他们从事研究，目的是 改善政府生产的充足性， 传播社会经济信息。访问学者工作 与普查人员合作，解决特别困难的问题， 处理和分析数据。这些努力的结果是 积累成更有效率和效力的机构程序， 更可靠和可解释的数据产品， 在基础研究中引入更多的现实世界， 访问科学家的教学议程，一旦他们回到他们的 家机构。一项特别安排，允许研究员 争取对该局开始的研究的继续支持 这是该计划下的一项创新。之间 其他好处，专业知识和知识之间的自由流动， 政府数据生产者和学术研究人员正在打破 减少了量化数据在政策上有用性的障碍 通过提高他们的科学研究潜力， 来偿还这个国家每年在他们的 收藏.
