项目概要/摘要 该提案寻求继续提供资金，以扩大和改善IPUMS CPS，这是一个重要的数据资源， 美国的人口健康和儿童福利研究。IPUMS CPS简化了访问， 减少了分析当前人口调查（CPS）数据的技术障碍， 关于美国个人和家庭经济和社会福祉的全面数据来源，包括 育龄妇女和儿童。IPUMS CPS可对人口进行严格和可重复的研究 卫生不公平现象产生和加剧的动态和社会经济背景， 公共政策基于可靠的科学证据。 该项目自2016年以来取得了令人印象深刻的成就，并将采取新的举措， 确保广泛获取、及时交付和创新使用CPS数据，以了解人口动态和人口 健康研究。该项目有五个具体目标：（1）数据库扩展，增加800多万人 通过合并将在2021年至2026年期间发布的65个新文件，包括所有CPS每月 和补充数据;（2）数据和元数据的改进，以增加研究机会，再现性， （3）数据访问改进，允许用户指定他们想要的CPS数据组合 （4）加强数据处理工具，以减少 为研究社区提供新数据，并降低维护基础设施的成本， （5）通过有针对性的、周到的外展活动和积极的 用户支持和培训。 CPS数据对于分析NICHD核心使命中确定的人口学主题是不可或缺的 人口动态分支，包括生育率、移徙、人口分布、婚姻、家庭人口统计， 人口增长和下降，以及人口变化的原因和后果。它们还含有 对健康和健康不公平的最重要的非临床决定因素的丰富措施。皇家检察署至关重要 评估社会安全网政策对儿童、个人和家庭的影响; 劳动力市场对婚姻过渡的破坏;以及婚姻解体对经济福祉的影响。 利用整个家庭的数据，对个人、夫妇、家庭和家庭层面的动态进行分析， 可能及时，用户友好的CPS数据对美国人口的经济和社会福祉从来没有 更加迫切需要。

Project Summary/Abstract This proposal seeks continued funding to expand and improve IPUMS CPS, an essential data resource for research on population health and child well-being in the United States. IPUMS CPS streamlines access and reduces technical barriers to analyzing data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the nation's most comprehensive source of data on the economic and social well-being of U.S. individuals and families, including women of reproductive age and children. IPUMS CPS enables rigorous and reproducible research on population dynamics and the social and economic contexts in which health inequities are created and reinforced, enabling public policy based on sound scientific evidence. Building on an impressive record of accomplishments since 2016, the project will undertake new initiatives to ensure broad access, timely delivery, and innovative use of CPS data for population dynamics and population health research. The project has five specific aims: (1) Database expansion to add more than eight million person records by incorporating 65 new files that will be released between 2021 and 2026, including all CPS monthly and supplement data; (2) Data and metadata improvement to enhance research opportunities, reproducibility, and rigor; (3) Data access improvements to allow users to specify the combinations of CPS data they want linked and the formats in which they will receive the data; (4) Data processing tool enhancement to reduce the time to deliver new data to the research community and reduce the costs of maintaining the infrastructure over the long run; (5) Expand and support the research community through targeted, thoughtful outreach, and active user support and training. CPS data are indispensable for analyzing demographic topics identified in the core mission of the NICHD Population Dynamics Branch, including fertility, migration, population distribution, nuptiality, family demography, population growth and decline, and the causes and consequences of demographic change. They also contain rich measures of the most important non-clinical determinants of health and health inequities. The CPS is vital for evaluating the consequences of social safety net policies for children, individuals, and families; the impact of labor market disruption on marital transitions; and the implications of marital dissolution for economic well-being. With data on entire households, analyses of individual-, couple-, family-, and household-level dynamics are possible. Timely, user-friendly CPS data on the economic and social well-being of the U.S. population has never been more urgently needed.
