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，以 (1) 刺激研究并突破研究界限，寻求开发和验证与生命历程相关的理论；(2) 促进整个科学界的思想共享，以增加新研究、更大范围复制、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，是推动数据共享进步的重要源泉；（b）DSDR与研究界的积极互动可以带来更好的服务；（c）对二次数据分析领域的新兴和新研究人员的用户支持和培训至关重要；以及（d）展示DSDR数据共享的价值至关重要，DSDR将开展一系列活动，推动数据共享领域向前发展。 DSDR 将：(1) 通过纳入 NICHD 资助的广泛项目以及人口和人口科学界感兴趣的其他数据收集项目来维护和建立 DSDR 数据集； (2) 通过提供数据归档和文件记录服务，为生产数据的研究人员提供建议和协助，特别是在保密和披露审查领域； (3) 通过开发数据共享的创新协议和技术来加强数据和文件的传播； (4) 通过提供用户支持、数据访问、培训、咨询和分享想法的机会来促进数据的二次分析； (5) 制定衡量科学界数据共享价值的关键指标。 DSDR 致力于通过其活动为知识环境做出贡献，并成为人口学和人口科学界的重要合作伙伴。在接下来的五年中，DSDR 将聘用其项目人员，听取 DSDR 倡导者的建议，并与 ICPSR 内外的知名研究人员合作，以适应和响应日益快节奏和动态变化的数据共享环境，从而为科学界提供价值。

 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.
