SES-0851414Steven RugglesRagui A. AssaadDeborah LevisonRobert E McCaaMatthew J SobekUniversity of MinnesotaThis project continues to build, enrich, and freely disseminate a global microdata resource of unprecedented scale and scope. The International Integrated Microdata Series (IPUMS-International) is creating fundamental infrastructure for scientific research, education, and policy-making. The project has produced the world's largest population database, with information describing 263 million persons drawn from 111 censuses of 35 countries between 1960 and 2005. The next project phase will dramatically expand the geographic and chronological coverage of the database, continue to preserve data, and disseminate the data to users around the world. There are four major activities: (1) Data acquisition and long-run preservation. The project will obtain and preserve the newest data from the 2010 round of censuses and the oldest data from the 1960s through the 1980s, most of which exist only on deteriorating magnetic tapes. (2) Data cleaning and processing. Before data can be released, it is necessary to draw samples, correct errors, apply confidentiality edits as needed, and make the data interoperable. (3) Documentation. Comprehensive documentation is essential to provide guidance to users on the meaning of census responses and their comparability across time and space. (4) Dissemination. The project will improve the web-based dissemination system, implement online data analysis and collaboration software, and conduct a program of education and dissemination activities. Broader Impacts. Richly detailed population data spanning the globe over multiple decades are indispensable for creating the next generation of demographic, economic, and environmental models. IPUMS-International data have already stimulated new research that transcends national boundaries and static interpretation. To keep the database a cutting-edge source of information, the project will add the latest material from the 2010 census rounds, process data from additional countries, and recover data at risk of destruction. By doubling the scope of the database to 250 censuses the next project phase will leverage the NSF's previous investment and make IPUMS-International an even more powerful resource for understanding the causes and consequences of the sweeping transformations of the human population that are reshaping the planet. This project will create a transnational resource of unprecedented power for understanding human society on a global scale. This infrastructure will multiply the quality, quantity, accessibility, and interoperability of information about the changing human population. By freely disseminating the data, the project will enhance scientific understanding of critical policy-related issues, such as population aging, international migration, climate change, and the effects of government programs on economic development and well-being. The project promotes teaching, training, and learning through three mechanisms. First, the project develops new tools for online data analysis for sharing curricular materials for teaching at all levels, bringing the excitement of discovery into the classroom. Second, it will conduct training workshops and develop online training modules to provide direct instruction in use of the data. Third, the project will employ a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate research assistants' including members of underrepresented groups'who will develop valuable new skills in a stimulating interdisciplinary environment

SES-0851414史蒂文·拉格斯·拉吉·A·阿萨德Deborah Levison罗伯特·E·麦卡马修·J·索贝克明尼苏达大学该项目继续建设、丰富和自由传播规模和范围空前的全球微数据资源。国际综合微数据系列(IPUMS-International)正在为科学研究、教育和政策制定创造基础设施。该项目制作了世界上最大的人口数据库，其中的信息描述了1960年至2005年期间35个国家的111次人口普查中的2.63亿人。下一个项目阶段将极大地扩大数据库的地理和时间覆盖范围，继续保存数据，并将数据传播给世界各地的用户。主要活动有四个：(1)数据采集和长期保存。该项目将获取和保存2010年人口普查的最新数据和1960年代至1980年代的最旧数据，其中大多数数据只存在于日益恶化的磁带上。(2)数据清理和处理。在发布数据之前，必须先抽取样本、更正错误、根据需要进行保密编辑，并使数据可互操作。(3)文件。全面的文件对于向用户提供关于普查答复的含义及其在时间和空间上的可比性的指导至关重要。(4)传播。该项目将完善网络传播系统，安装在线数据分析和协作软件，并开展教育和传播活动方案。更广泛的影响。全球几十年来丰富详细的人口数据对于创建下一代人口、经济和环境模型是不可或缺的。IPUMS-国际数据已经激发了超越国界和静态解释的新研究。为了使该数据库成为前沿信息来源，该项目将增加2010年人口普查的最新材料，处理来自其他国家的数据，并恢复面临被破坏风险的数据。通过将数据库的范围扩大一倍，达到250次人口普查，下一个项目阶段将利用国家科学基金会之前的投资，使国际人口管理研究所成为了解人类人口正在重塑地球的全面变化的原因和后果的更强大的资源。该项目将创造一种在全球范围内了解人类社会的前所未有的跨国资源。这一基础设施将使有关不断变化的人口的信息的质量、数量、可获得性和互操作性成倍增加。通过免费传播数据，该项目将加强对关键政策相关问题的科学理解，如人口老龄化、国际移民、气候变化以及政府计划对经济发展和福祉的影响。该项目通过三个机制促进教学、培训和学习。首先，该项目开发了用于在线数据分析的新工具，用于共享各级教学的课程材料，将发现的兴奋带入课堂。第二，它将举办培训讲习班并开发在线培训模块，直接指导数据的使用。第三，该项目将雇佣一个多样化的研究生和本科生研究助理群体，包括代表不足的群体的成员，他们将在一个刺激的跨学科环境中发展有价值的新技能
