SES-1357452Steven RugglesRagui A. AssaadDeborah LevisonRobert E. McCaaAnne MeierUniversity of MinnesotaThe Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) project is creating fundamental infrastructure for scientific research, education, and policy-making. The collaborators have created the world's largest population database, with information describing 545 million persons drawn from 238 censuses and surveys of 74 countries between 1960 and 2011. This proposal continues funding to build, enrich, and freely disseminate a microdata resource of unprecedented scale and scope. This next project phase expands the coverage of the database, preserves it for future generations, and disseminates the data to users around the world. This project focuses on five major activities: (1) Data acquisition and long-run preservation; (2) Data cleaning and processing; (3) Creating comprehensive documentation to guide users on the meaning of census and survey responses and their comparability across time and space; (4) Improving the web-based dissemination and analysis system and conducting an expanded program of education and dissemination activities; and 5) Developing with national statistical agencies a secure dissemination system for data that pose disclosure risks, making a vast new trove of big data available. IPUMS is critical scientific infrastructure. The extraordinary growth and redistribution of population and economic resources are reshaping the planet. To meet the challenges created by rapid demographic, economic, and environmental change, researchers must have full and open access to the best possible information. Richly detailed population data spanning the globe over multiple decades are indispensable for creating the next generation of social science and environmental models. IPUMS data have already stimulated new research that transcends national boundaries and static interpretation. The expansion, improvement, and support of the database are directly relevant to the central mission of the NSF to promote the progress of science. The next project phase will leverage the NSF's previous investments and make IPUMS an even more powerful resource for understanding the causes and consequences of the sweeping transformations of the human population. This infrastructure will multiply the quality, quantity, accessibility, and interoperability of information about the changing population, creating a transnational resource of unprecedented power for understanding human society on a global scale. By disseminating big microdata, this 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 will promote teaching through: (1) online data analysis and sharing of curricular materials for teaching; (2) conducting training workshops and developing online instructional modules on data usage; and (3) employing a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate research assistants, including members of underrepresented groups, who will develop valuable new skills in a stimulating interdisciplinary en

明尼苏达大学综合公共使用微数据系列（IPUMS）项目正在为科学研究、教育和政策制定创造基础设施。合作者创建了世界上最大的人口数据库，其中包括从1960年至2011年74个国家的238次人口普查和调查中获得的5.45亿人的信息。该提案继续资助建立、丰富和自由传播规模和范围空前的微数据资源。下一个项目阶段扩大了数据库的覆盖范围，为后代保存它，并将数据传播给世界各地的用户。本项目重点开展五项工作：(1)数据采集和长期保存；(2)数据清洗和处理；(3)创建综合文件，指导用户了解人口普查和调查答复的意义及其跨时间和空间的可比性；（四）完善网络传播分析系统，扩大教育传播活动；5)与国家统计机构共同建立一个安全的数据传播系统，以应对存在披露风险的数据，提供大量新的大数据。IPUMS是关键的科学基础设施。人口和经济资源的惊人增长和再分配正在重塑地球。为了应对快速的人口、经济和环境变化所带来的挑战，研究人员必须能够充分和开放地获取尽可能好的信息。几十年来全球范围内丰富详细的人口数据对于创建下一代社会科学和环境模型是必不可少的。IPUMS数据已经激发了超越国界和静态解释的新研究。数据库的扩展、改进和支持直接关系到美国国家科学基金会促进科学进步的中心使命。下一个项目阶段将利用美国国家科学基金会以前的投资，使IPUMS成为一个更强大的资源，用于了解人口大规模变化的原因和后果。这一基础设施将成倍提高关于人口变化的信息的质量、数量、可及性和互操作性，为在全球范围内理解人类社会创造一种前所未有的跨国资源。通过传播大微观数据，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、气候变化以及政府项目对经济发展和福祉的影响。该项目将通过以下方式促进教学：(1)在线数据分析和教学课程资料共享；(2)举办培训讲习班，开发数据使用的在线教学模块；(3)雇用多样化的研究生和本科生研究助理，包括代表性不足的群体的成员，他们将在一个刺激的跨学科环境中发展有价值的新技能
