NILS RSU Continuation 2012 2017

项目摘要

The Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS) was established in 2006 and - because of its high sampling fraction, its ability to link with strategic non-standard health data, and its companion Mortality Study - is a resource unique in the UK. Its initial development was funded by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and the Health and Social Care Research and Development Division of the Public Health Agency (HSC R&D Division). It is currently used to examine issues such as migration, fertility and health. However, its power will increase with the imminent 2001-2011 Census link which will allow analysis of socio-economic and demographic transitions when the data is released in 2013. The NILS Research Support Unit (RSU) has been funded by the ESRC since 2009 with one staff member funded by the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM), specifically to develop usage more directly inclusive of policy concerns. The core RSU remit is to maintain a 'safe setting', to support users from project design through application and approval to data extraction, analysis and final output, and to promote the research and policy use of the NILS. The development of the NILS is overseen by a steering group that includes funders, data suppliers and users. Project approval is overseen by a Research Approvals Group (RAG) which includes data suppliers and funders. This RSU funding proposal (2012-2017) further develops this core remit. For the foreseeable future the usual user access methods (which includes supported 'remote' access) will utilise the safe setting so core support provision (noted above) will remain key functions managed from this office, as will the provision of working papers, metadata and other guidance. Existing consultation with users to agree service standards and streamlined application procedure will continue, and the aim of boosting service efficiency through online booking will be pursued. It is anticipated that user demand will grow when the linked data become available and planning is underway to get better facilities, equipment and more support officers to meet this. Promotion of the NILS via the 2001-2011 link through a research plan involving the policy community is significant in the bid in the medium term until 2015, and it is planned that the strong policy emphasis of the NILS will be taken forward and expanded. The proposal acknowledges fully the need to move beyond core business both to develop the NILS and to respond to a fast-changing external environment. It does this in several ways, including longer term plans taking the Unit to 2017. Some of these are aspirational and some are already in train. It seeks to contribute to the proposed UK LS Hub, and together with other LS support units (LS SUs), and other ESRC investments, to create economies of scale in training, promotion, advocacy and impact. The harmonisation of access, procedures, publicity and websites is part of this agenda as is the pooling of expertise between the LS SUs to deal with user queries. It also contributes to data sharing agendas by proposing a synthetic NILS database which can be shared and accessed remotely to improve the user experience and by exploring methodologies such as 'Datashield' technology for cross-LS analysis. These developments will benefit users, as will an exploration aimed at how remote user access to the NILS, avoiding the need to visit the safe setting, can be made safe and acceptable. The proposal also aims to contribute to wider agendas such as 'Beyond 2011' through research using the NILS (for example assessing the accuracy of address information); through working with users and data suppliers to encourage further exemplar data linkage; and by assessing how modelling might 'fill the gaps' in the NILS. The implications of a non-census future are considered along with the aspiration that the NILS-RSU could become the access point for linked official data by 2015.

北爱尔兰纵向研究（NILS）成立于2006年，由于其抽样比例高，能够与战略性非标准健康数据及其配套的死亡率研究联系起来，是联合王国独有的资源。其最初的发展是由北爱尔兰统计和研究局（NISRA）和公共卫生署卫生和社会保健研究与发展司（HSC研发司）资助的。它目前被用来审查诸如移民、生育和健康等问题。然而，随着2001-2011年即将到来的人口普查，它的力量将会增强，当2013年数据公布时，它将能够分析社会经济和人口结构的转变。自2009年以来，NILS研究支持单位（RSU）一直由ESRC资助，其中一名工作人员由第一和副第一部长办公室（OFMDFM）资助，专门用于开发更直接包括政策问题的使用。研究小组的核心职责是维持一个“安全的环境”，从项目设计到申请和批准，再到数据提取、分析和最终输出，为用户提供支持，并促进研究和政策使用国家数据分析系统。国家信息系统的发展由一个指导小组监督，该小组包括资助者、数据供应商和用户。项目审批由研究审批小组（RAG）监督，该小组包括数据供应商和资助者。该RSU资助提案（2012-2017）进一步发展了这一核心职责。在可预见的将来，通常的用户访问方法（包括支持的“远程”访问）将利用安全设置，因此提供核心支持（如上所述）将仍然是由该办公室管理的关键功能，提供工作文件、元数据和其他指导也是如此。我们会继续谘询用户，以商定服务标准和简化申请程序，并致力透过网上预约提高服务效率。预计当相关数据可用时，用户需求将会增长，并且正在规划以获得更好的设施、设备和更多的支持人员来满足这一需求。从中期到2015年，通过一项涉及政策界的研究计划，通过2001-2011年的联系来促进非户籍制度的发展是非常重要的，计划将推进和扩大非户籍制度的强大政策重点。该提案充分承认，有必要超越核心业务，发展国家信息系统，并对快速变化的外部环境作出反应。它通过多种方式实现这一目标，包括将该股延长至2017年的长期计划。其中一些是有抱负的，有些已经在进行中。它寻求为拟议中的英国LS中心做出贡献，并与其他LS支持单位（LS SUs）和其他ESRC投资一起，在培训、推广、宣传和影响方面创造规模经济。协调访问、程序、宣传和网站，以及在处理用户查询方面汇集各服务单位的专业知识，都是这一议程的一部分。它还提出了一个可以远程共享和访问的综合NILS数据库，以改善用户体验，并通过探索跨ls分析的“数据域”技术等方法，为数据共享议程做出了贡献。这些发展将使用户受益，同时也将探索如何使远程用户访问NILS，避免访问安全设置，从而使其安全且可接受。该提案还旨在通过使用NILS进行研究（例如评估地址信息的准确性），为更广泛的议程做出贡献，例如“超越2011”；通过与用户和数据提供者合作，鼓励进一步建立模范数据联系；并通过评估建模如何“填补”NILS中的空白。考虑到非人口普查未来的影响，以及到2015年NILS-RSU可能成为相关官方数据的接入点的愿望。
