Dissemination and Outreach Core

传播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。核心服务于这些项目，其他MPC成员，以及其他地方的数千名用户。 机构职能体系通过共享共同的用户支持和外展基础设施，我们提高了运营效率， 提高服务水平。传播和外联核心方案有三个主要目标： 为MPC人口数据产品提供用户支持协助; 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MPC核心一样，传播和外联核心的大部分资金来自基金。 除了R24。大多数MPC数据基础设施项目至少包括有限的传播资金， 外展这些资金可用于支付特定项目的用户支持，但不能用于提供 一般管理和项目之间的协调;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联和传播。R24资金还支持共享 这些设备和服务使所有MPC数据基础设施项目受益，并且不能轻易分配给特定项目。

The Dissemination 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.
