The Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) is a standing committee of the National Academies. It was established in 1972 at the recommendation of the President's Commission on Federal Statistics to fill a critical gap as an integrative force for the federal government's highly decentralized statistical system. The Committee works to improve the data and analytic methods that contribute to public policy research and decision-making. During this grant period, the Committee will hold public seminars and develop studies in areas of increasing challenge for federal statistical agencies, including: the tension between protecting confidentiality and privacy and providing research access to data; stemming the decline in response to government surveys; measuring the changing economy; and pursuing innovation and coordination in preference to the status quo. The Committee also will respond to requests for particular studies from sponsor agencies. Some current and expected projects include: measurement of food insecurity and hunger; residence rules and coverage evaluation for the 2010 census; estimation issues for the new American Community Survey; the adequacy of federal business statistics on small business dynamics and innovation; the design of national health accounts; and an update of the Committee's white paper, Principles and Practices for a Federal Statistical Agency. Joint projects with other units in the National Academies include the feasibility of a national ballistics imaging database and applications of data mining and information fusion for public health, terrorism prevention, and other governmental functions.Committee on National Statistics projects are designed to have broad application beyond the specific issues covered. Many studies help improve government policy and operations. Almost all contribute to the social, behavioral, and economic sciences in such ways as: improving federally sponsored data collections on which much social science research depends; furthering the development and use of statistical methods for policy and methodological research; providing forums for intellectual exchange and consideration of system-wide issues, such as human research participant protection for social science research; and advancing the social, behavioral, and economic sciences within the National Academies and through the Committee's relationships with Congress, OMB, and federal research and program agencies. Many projects also contribute to better public understanding by improving key national indicators (e.g., the poverty measure, the Consumer Price Index) and the quality, relevance, and accessibility of key data sets.

国家统计委员会（CNSTAT）是国家科学院的常设委员会。 它是根据总统联邦统计委员会的建议于1972年设立的，目的是作为联邦政府高度分散的统计系统的一个综合力量，填补一个关键空白。 该委员会致力于改进有助于公共政策研究和决策的数据和分析方法。 在此赠款期间，委员会将举办公开研讨会，并在联邦统计机构面临的日益严峻的挑战领域开展研究，包括：保护机密性和隐私与提供研究数据之间的紧张关系;阻止对政府调查的反应下降;衡量不断变化的经济;追求创新和协调，而不是维持现状。 委员会还将对申办机构提出的特定研究请求作出回应。 目前和预期开展的一些项目包括：衡量粮食不安全和饥饿情况; 2010年人口普查的居住规则和覆盖面评价;新的美国社区调查的估计问题;关于小企业动态和创新的联邦企业统计数据的充分性;国家卫生账户的设计;以及委员会白色《联邦统计机构的原则和做法》的更新。 与国家科学院其他单位的联合项目包括建立国家弹道学成像数据库的可行性，以及将数据挖掘和信息融合应用于公共卫生、预防恐怖主义和其他政府职能，国家统计委员会的项目旨在具有超出所涉具体问题的广泛应用。 许多研究有助于改善政府政策和运作。 几乎所有的贡献，社会，行为和经济科学等方式：改善联邦赞助的数据收集，许多社会科学研究所依赖的;进一步发展和使用统计方法的政策和方法研究;提供论坛，知识交流和审议全系统的问题，如人类研究参与者保护社会科学研究;通过委员会与国会、管理和预算办公室以及联邦研究和计划机构的关系，在国家科学院内推进社会、行为和经济科学。 许多项目还通过改善关键的国家指标（例如，贫穷衡量标准、消费物价指数）以及关键数据集的质量、相关性和可获得性。
