Dissemination and Outreach Core

分发和外联核心是大规模人口数据基础设施的共享资源 MPC的项目。核心为这些项目、其他MPC成员和其他网站的数千用户提供服务 机构。通过共享通用的用户支持和外展基础设施，我们获得了运营效率和 提高服务水平。传播和外联核心有三个主要目标：1)提供 对货币政策委员会人口统计数据产品的用户支助援助；2)改进这些产品的数据和文件 项目；以及，3)开展外联活动，以增加学术界对MPC人口统计数据的使用 研究人员、政策制定者、教育工作者和记者。 与其他货币政策委员会核心一样，传播和外联核心的大部分资金来自资金 而不是R24。大多数MPC数据基础设施项目至少包括有限的资金用于传播和 外展。这些资金可用于支付特定于项目的用户支持，但不能用于提供 跨项目的一般行政和协调；因此，适度的R24资金对于 提供集中、高效和具有成本效益的外展和传播。R24资金也支持共享 使所有MPC数据基础设施项目受益且不能轻易分配给特定项目的设备和服务。

The Disseminafion and Outreach Core is a shared resource for large-scale demographic data infrastructure projects at MPC. The Core serves these projects, other MPC members, and thousands of users at other institutions. By sharing a common user-support and outreach infrastructure, we gain operating efficiencies and improve the standard of service. The Dissemination and Outreach Core has three main objectives: 1) providing user support assistance for MPC demographic data products; 2) improving data and documentation for those projects; and, 3) performing outreach activities to increase the use of MPC demographic data among academic researchers, policymakers, educators, and journalists. Like other MPC Cores, the majority of funding for the Dissemination and Outreach Core comes from funds other than the R24. Most MPC data infrastructure projects include at least limited funds for dissemination and outreach. Those funds can be used to pay for project-specific user support, but they cannot be used to provide general administration and coordination across projects; accordingly, the modest R24 funding is essential to provide centralized, efficient, and cost-effective outreach and dissemination. R24 funding also supports shared equipment and services that benefit all MPC data infrastructure projects and cannot easily be allocated to a particular project.
