RCN: Coordination of the NSF-Census Research Network

美国国家科学基金会-人口普查研究网络（NCRN）由八个节点组成，每个节点由研究人员组成，他们对人口普查局、联邦统计系统和更广泛的研究界感兴趣和重要的理论、方法和计算工具进行创新、高影响力、跨学科的调查。这些节点位于卡内基梅隆大学、科罗拉多大学博尔德分校/田纳西大学、康奈尔大学、杜克大学/国家统计科学研究所（NISS）、密歇根大学、密苏里大学、内布拉斯加州大学和西北大学。NSF/人口普查研究网络协调办公室（NCRN- co）由NISS和康奈尔大学联合运营，催化和促进NCRN节点之间的沟通与协作，并关注网络与多个外部利益相关者社区的关系。这些群体包括联邦统计机构、学术界和私营部门的研究人员、专业协会、国际机构以及新闻界和公众。NCRN- co的活动包括组织NCRN研究人员的半年度会议；利用先进的通讯和协作工具，促进NCRN内部的信息共享；支持NCRN与人口普查局工作人员的合作；协助和协调NCRN各节点的教育活动；举办讲习班和研讨会，传播NCRN的研究成果，并引起非NCRN研究人员的反馈和参与；维护一个网站，为广泛而多样的社区提供研究成果及其影响。NCRN- co是一项增值活动，帮助NCRN节点利用彼此的研究成果，并产生超过个人影响总和的科学和社会影响。NCRN- co是NCRN的公众形象，通过网站www.ncrn.info、季度通讯和NCRN年度报告、研究简报、新闻稿、专业协会会议的特别会议和主要期刊的特刊等途径。NCRN-CO帮助这些节点推进博士后和研究生的职业生涯，作为对美国官方统计未来的投资。

The NSF-Census Research Network (NCRN) consists of eight nodes, each comprised of researchers conducting innovative, high-impact, cross-disciplinary investigations of theory, methodology and computational tools of interest and significance to the Census Bureau, the federal statistical system and the broader research community. These nodes are located at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Colorado at Boulder/University of Tennessee, Cornell University, Duke University/National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS), the University of Michigan, the University of Missouri, the University of Nebraska and Northwestern University. The NSF/Census Research Network Coordination Office (NCRN-CO), operated jointly by NISS and Cornell University, catalyzes and fosters communication and collaboration among the nodes of the NCRN, as well as focuses the network's relationships with multiple external stakeholder communities. These communities include federal statistical agencies, researchers in academia and the private sector, professional associations, international bodies, and the press and public. Among NCRN-CO activities are organizing semi-annual meetings of NCRN researchers; facilitating information sharing within the NCRN, using advanced communication and collaboration tools; supporting NCRN engagement with staff from the Census Bureau; assisting and coordinating educational activities at NCRN nodes; conducting workshops and seminars that disseminate the research products of the NCRN and engender feedback and engagement of non-NCRN researchers; and maintaining a website that provides access to research findings and their implications for a broad and diverse set of communities.The NCRN-CO is a value-added activity, helping the NCRN nodes to leverage each other's research achievements and leading to scientific and societal impact that exceeds the sum of the individual impacts. The NCRN-CO is the public face of the NCRN, through paths such as the website www.ncrn.info, quarterly newsletters and an NCRN-wide annual report, research briefs, news releases, special sessions at professional society meetings, and special issues of leading journals. The NCRN-CO aids the nodes in advancing the careers of postdoctorals and graduate students, as an investment in the future of official statistics in the United States.
