Integrated Current Population Survey Data for Population Dynamics and Health Research

项目总结/摘要 这项行政补充申请的母公司赠款旨在扩大和改善IPUMS CPS， 美国人口健康和儿童福利研究的基本数据资源。IPUMS CPS 简化访问并减少分析当前人口调查（CPS）数据的技术障碍， 美国最全面的关于美国个人经济和社会福祉的数据来源， 家庭，包括育龄妇女和儿童。IPUMS CPS实现了严格和可重复的 研究人口动态以及造成卫生不公平现象的社会和经济背景 并得到加强，使公共政策建立在可靠的科学证据基础上。 母项目的目标是确保CPS数据的广泛访问、及时交付和创新使用， 人口动态和人口健康研究。这一行政补充请求是第三次 一系列改进，涉及减少数据处理时间，以减少向 从长远来看，它可以帮助研究社区并降低维护基础设施的成本。补充剂 request有三个特定的目标：（1）自动化测试过程以响应代码更改;（2）转换 在工作流程的早期进行集成测试;（3）增强差异报告。这些改进将是 为IPUMS数据制作节省了大量时间，但研究界是真正的受益者， 更快地获得更高质量的数据。 复杂的测试需要数据内容专家和软件工程师之间的密切合作。的 行政补充请求提出了一个新的合作研究程序员分析师和 软件工程师开发一套更强大、更可靠的数据生产测试和更好的集成 在数据统一过程的早期进行的测试。这些测试将改进数据生成流程， 从而为IPUMS CPS和IPUMS CPS提供更有效的质量保证测试和更快速的数据交付 以及建立在共享IPUMS平台上的13个IPUMS数据集合中的每一个。

Project Summary/Abstract The parent grant for this administrative supplement request aims to expand and improve IPUMS CPS, an essential data resource for research on population health and child well-being in the United States. IPUMS CPS streamlines access and reduces technical barriers to analyzing data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the nation's most comprehensive source of data on the economic and social well-being of US individuals and families, including women of reproductive age and children. IPUMS CPS enables rigorous and reproducible research on population dynamics and the social and economic contexts in which health inequities are created and reinforced, enabling public policy based on sound scientific evidence. The parent project’s goal is to ensure broad access, timely delivery, and innovative use of CPS data for population dynamics and population health research. This administrative supplement request represents a third set of improvements related to decreasing data processing times to reduce the time to deliver new data to the research community and reduce the costs of maintaining the infrastructure over the long run. The supplement request has three specific aims: (1) Automate the testing process in response to code changes; (2) Shift integration testing earlier in the workflow; (3) Enhance difference reporting. These enhancements will be a massive time saver for IPUMS data production, but the research community is the true benefactor in the form of access to higher quality data more quickly. Sophisticated testing requires close collaboration between data content experts and software engineers. The administrative supplement request proposes a new collaboration between a research programmer analyst and software engineers to develop a more robust and reliable suite of data production tests and better integration testing that occurs earlier in the data harmonization process. The tests will improve the data production process, resulting in more effective testing for quality assurance and more rapid delivery of data, for both IPUMS CPS and each of the 13 IPUMS data collections built on the shared IPUMS Platform.
