Demographic Data Sharing and Archiving

 描述（由申请人提供）：人口研究数据共享（DSDR）项目的总体目标是提高NICHD资助的数据收集项目和其他感兴趣的研究的价值，并扩大这些数据在NICHD资助的人口中心和研究界的传播。DSDR的使命是创建一个数据基础设施，（1）刺激研究并推动研究的边界，寻求开发和验证与生命过程相关的理论，（2）促进科学界的思想共享，以增加新研究，更大的复制，科学发现和学习的可能性。基于以下前提：（a）人口科学是数据共享的核心，是推动数据共享取得进展的重要动力来源;（B）人口与发展数据库与研究界之间的积极互动有助于提供更好的服务;（c）在二手数据分析方面为新出现的研究人员提供用户支持和培训至关重要;（d）展示人口与发展数据库数据共享的价值至关重要，DSDR将开展一系列活动，推动数据共享领域的发展。DSDR将：（1）通过纳入广泛的NICHD资助的项目和人口与人口科学界感兴趣的其他数据收集项目，维护和建立DSDR收集;（2）通过提供数据存档和文件服务，特别是在保密和披露审查领域，向产生数据的研究人员提供咨询和协助;（3）通过开发数据共享的创新协议和技术，加强数据和文件的传播;（4）通过提供用户支持、数据获取、培训、咨询和交流想法的机会，促进数据的二级分析;以及（5）制定衡量科学界数据共享价值的关键指标。由于其活动，人口与发展研究所寻求为知识环境作出贡献，并成为人口学和人口科学界的宝贵伙伴。在接下来的五年里，DSDR将雇用其项目工作人员，听取为DSDR提供建议的倡导者的意见，并与ICPSR内外的知名研究人员合作，以适应和应对日益快节奏和动态变化的数据共享环境，并为科学界提供价值。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the Data Sharing for Demographic Research (DSDR) project is to enhance the value of NICHD-funded data collection projects and other studies of interest and to broaden dissemination of these data throughout NICHD-funded population centers and the research community. DSDR's mission is to create a data infrastructure that (1) stimulates research and pushes the boundaries of research seeking to develop and validate theories related to the life course, and (2) promotes the sharing of ideas across the scientific community to increase the possibility of new research, greater replication, scientific discovery, and learning. Based on the premise that (a) the population sciences comprise a central core of data sharing and are an important source for the impetus for advances in data sharing, (b) active interaction between DSDR and the research community leads to better services, (c) user support and training for emerging and new researchers in secondary data analysis is critical, and (d) demonstrating the value of DSDR data sharing is essential, DSDR will engage in a series of activities that will move the field of data sharing forward. DSDR will: (1) maintain and build the DSDR collection by incorporating a wide spectrum of NICHD-funded projects and other data collection projects of interest to the demographic and population sciences scientific community; (2) advise and assist researchers who produce data by offering services for data archiving and documentation, in particular in the area of confidentiality and disclosure review; (3) enhance dissemination of data and documentation by developing innovative protocols and technologies for data sharing; (4) promote secondary analysis of data by providing user support, access to data, training, consultation, and opportunities for sharing ideas; and (5) develop key metrics that measure the value of data sharing for the scientific community. As a result of its activities, DSDR seeks to contribute to the intellectual environment and be a valuable partner in the demography and population science community. Over the next five years, DSDR will employ its project staff, listen to advocates who advise DSDR, and work with established researchers both within and outside of ICPSR to be adaptive and responsive to the circumstances of an increasingly fast- paced and dynamically changing data sharing environment and in so doing provide value to the scientific community.
