DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A vast archive of raw census microdata covering Eurasia in the period since 1960 survives in machine- readable form. Over the past five years, this project has made a substantial portion of these data available to researchers for the first time. This proposal seeks continued funding to preserve, integrate, and freely disseminate large-scale Eurasian population microdata samples. The first phase of the project, focusing on European data, is on schedule to accomplish all the goals described in our original application. The primary goal was processing data and documentation to create publicly-accessible large-scale census microdata samples from multiple decades for a wide range of European countries and disseminating those data to researchers. This work involved data cleaning, drawing samples, implementing confidentiality protections, creating integrated variables, developing comprehensive metadata, and disseminating the data and metadata through a sophisticated web-based access system. This competing continuation project will extend the geographic scope eastward to cover Asia, prepare 40 additional census microdata samples for release to the research community, improve the geographic variables in the database, and recover data at risk of destruction. In addition to adding new partner countries, the expansion of the database will add new samples from the 2010 round of censuses for countries already incorporated into the integrated data series, and increase the size of several existing samples. The project leverages previous federal investments in social science infrastructure. Grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation laid the groundwork for the project by funding many of the fixed costs. Those projects underwrote the development of data cleaning and sampling procedures, metadata systems, data conversion and dissemination software, and design protocols for data and documentation. Raw microdata files, internal documentation, and redistribution agreements for most censuses to be processed have already been obtained. As a result, this project is highly cost-effective. The integrated database provides fundamental infrastructure for scientific research, education, and policy- making. The new data will allow social scientists to make comparisons across Europe and Asia during five decades of transformative change, and will result in a substantial body of new research on population health, economic development, fertility and mortality decline, population aging, migration, and reshaping of families. By opening new avenues for investigating the causes and consequences of population dynamics, this infrastructure directly addresses the priorities of the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of NICHD.

描述（由申请人提供）：自1960年以来，涵盖欧亚大陆的原始人口普查微观数据的大量档案以机器可读的形式保存下来。在过去的五年里，这个项目首次将这些数据的很大一部分提供给了研究人员。该提案寻求继续资助，以保存、整合和自由传播大规模欧亚人口微数据样本。该项目的第一阶段，重点是欧洲数据，按计划完成了我们原始应用程序中描述的所有目标。主要目标是处理数据和文件，以便为广泛的欧洲国家创建几十年来可公开访问的大规模人口普查微数据样本，并将这些数据传播给研究人员。这项工作涉及数据清理、绘制样本、实施保密保护、创建集成变量、开发综合元数据以及通过复杂的基于web的访问系统传播数据和元数据。这个相互竞争的继续项目将把地理范围向东扩展到亚洲，编制40个额外的普查微数据样本供研究界使用，改进数据库中的地理变量，并恢复有被破坏危险的数据。除了增加新的伙伴国家外，数据库的扩大还将为已纳入综合数据系列的国家增加2010年一轮人口普查的新样本，并增加几个现有样本的规模。该项目利用了之前联邦政府对社会科学基础设施的投资。美国国立卫生研究院和美国国家科学基金会的拨款为该项目奠定了基础，资助了许多固定费用。这些项目资助发展数据清理和抽样程序、元数据系统、数据转换和传播软件以及数据和文件设计协议。已经获得了待处理的大多数人口普查的原始微数据文件、内部文件和重新分配协议。因此，该项目具有很高的成本效益。该综合数据库为科学研究、教育和政策制定提供了基础设施。新的数据将使社会科学家能够对欧洲和亚洲50年来的变革进行比较，并将产生大量关于人口健康、经济发展、生育率和死亡率下降、人口老龄化、移民和家庭重塑的新研究。这一基础设施为调查人口动态的原因和后果开辟了新的途径，直接解决了人口和行为科学处的优先事项。
