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 need to integrate household and business surveys, confronting declining survey response, the use administrative records to improve data quality, enlarging the pipeline of technically qualified agency personnel, and bolstering innovation in federal statistics. It will continue to study issues of balancing confidentiality protection with research access to data, measuring the changing economy, enhancing the quality and cost-effectiveness of major censuses and surveys, and refining and applying statistical methods, such as experimental design and data mining, to important national issues. The Committee also will respond to requests for particular studies from sponsor agencies. Some current and expected projects include evaluation of the 2010 census; redesign of the Consumer Expenditure Survey; measuring subjective well-being in a policy-relevant national accounting framework; developing a medical care risk index to complement the new supplemental poverty measure; assessing alternative estimates of children eligible for school nutrition programs and limited-English proficiency funding allocations; 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 redesign of the Commercial Building and Residential Energy Consumption Surveys and measuring higher education productivity.Committee on National Statistics projects are designed to have broad application beyond the specific issues covered. Many studies help improve government policy and operations, such as allocations of funds for education and nutrition programs. 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 facilitating innovation in federal data collection and dissemination; 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，委员会将举行公开研讨会，并在联邦统计机构面临的日益严峻的挑战领域开展研究，包括需要将家庭和企业调查结合起来，应对调查答复下降的情况，利用行政记录提高数据质量，扩大技术合格的机构人员的渠道，以及支持联邦统计的创新。 它将继续研究如何在保密与研究数据获取之间取得平衡，衡量不断变化的经济，提高主要人口普查和调查的质量和成本效益，改进统计方法并将其应用于重要的国家问题，如实验设计和数据挖掘。 委员会还将对申办机构提出的特定研究请求作出回应。 目前和预期的一些项目包括：评估2010年人口普查;重新设计消费者支出调查;在与政策相关的国民核算框架内衡量主观幸福感;制定医疗保健风险指数，以补充新的补充贫困措施;评估有资格参加学校营养方案和有限英语水平资金分配的儿童的替代估计数;以及委员会的白色文件《联邦统计机构的原则和做法》的最新情况。 与国家科学院其他单位的联合项目包括重新设计商业建筑和住宅能源消费调查以及衡量高等教育生产力，国家统计委员会项目的设计目的是在所涵盖的具体问题之外有广泛的应用。 许多研究有助于改善政府的政策和运作，如教育和营养计划的资金分配。 几乎所有的贡献，社会，行为和经济科学的方式，如：改善联邦资助的数据收集，许多社会科学研究所依赖的;进一步发展和使用的统计方法的政策和方法研究;提供论坛的知识交流和考虑系统范围内的问题，如促进创新的联邦数据收集和传播;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。
