Central Plains Census Research Data Center

该奖项提供资金，用于在内布拉斯加州林肯大学校园内建立一个新的研究数据中心，并在爱荷华州立大学设立一个分中心。研究数据中心是由主办机构与人口普查局合作建立的。该中心将为统计研究目的提供对受限使用的政府微观数据的安全访问。该中心的研究将包括范围广泛的主题的项目，包括经济、农村与城市生活和资源的可持续性，以及水和食品安全。在这个区域发展中心进行的研究将使政策制定者对该国这一地区的长期趋势有新的见解。此外，中心的研究人员计划利用他们在调查方法方面的专业知识来开发适合人口普查数据的方法。这个RDC得到了一个初始财团的支持，该财团包括主办机构和内布拉斯加大学医学中心、南达科他大学和爱荷华大学。该中心将在现有的18个区域发展中心网络的基础上增加地理多样性。

This award provides funds for a new Research Data Center on the campus of the University of Nebraska Lincoln, with a branch center at Iowa State University. Research Data Centers are established by host institutions with cooperation from the Bureau of the Census. The Center will provide secure access to restricted-use government microdata for the purpose of statistical research. Research at this Center will include projects on a wide range of topics, including economics, rural vs. urban life and resource sustainability, and water and food security. The research conducted at this RDC will give policymakers new insights into long term trends in this region of the country. In addition, Center researchers plan to use their expertise in survey methods to work to develop methods appropriate for Census data.This RDC is supported by an initial consortium that includes the host institutions and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the University of South Dakota, and the University of Iowa. The Center will add geographic diversity to the current network of 18 existing RDCs.
