NIH 2000 Census Date Project

描述（由申请人提供）：大学间政治和社会研究联合会（ICPSR）将使2000年美国人口和住房普查的数据提供给广泛领域的研究人员，特别是人口和老龄化。在此过程中，它将收集、保存、增强和分发美国人口普查局开发的数据。该方案还将向数据用户和数据管理员提供培训。该项目将促进研究人员的工作，从而产生巨大的规模经济。这些活动将由人口与社会问题国际顾问委员会进行，并涉及与人口普查局以及密歇根大学和明尼苏达大学人口研究中心的合作安排。 该项目有六项主要活动：（1）收集2000年人口和住房普查产生的数据并长期存档。(2)重新格式化人口普查数据，以便于在统计分析程序中使用。(3)编制符合数据文件编制倡议标准的普查数据文件。(4)开发新的数据产品，包括满足学术研究人员特殊需要的特殊子样本和特殊摘要文件。(5)提供基于网络的数据访问。基于网络的系统将包括一个数据查找器和定制子集功能，使研究人员能够查找和获取特定研究应用所需的数据。(6)提供培训和外联活动，以鼓励使用数据。 人口普查是一个独特的数据来源，为广泛的研究主题对美国。有了这里所要求的资金，公民社会和政治权利国际委员会提议收集和保存这些数据，将其加入其从以前的普查中收集的大量数据中，并广泛分发这些数据和有关这些数据的信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) will make data from the 2000 Census of Population and Housing of the United States available to researchers in a broad array of fields, especially population and aging. In doing so, it will collect, preserve, enhance, and distribute data developed by the U.S. Census Bureau. ICPSR will also provide training to data users and data librarians. The project will lead to great economies of scale by facilitating the work of researchers. These activities will be conducted by ICPSR, and also involve collaborative arrangements with the Census Bureau and with the Population Studies Centers of the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota. This project has six key activities: (1 ) Acquisition and long-term archiving of data produced by the 2000 Censuses of Population and of Housing. (2) Re-formatting census data to facilitate use in statistical analysis programs. (3) Development of documentation for census data that is compliant with the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) standard. (4) Development of new data products, including special subsamples and special summary files, that serve the special needs of academic researchers. (5) Provision of web-based access to the data. The web-based system will include a data-finder and custom subsetting capabilities to allow researchers to find and acquire the data needed for specific research applications. (6) Provision of training and outreach activities to encourage use of the data. The Census is a unique source of data for a wide range of research topics about the United States. With the funding requested here, ICPSR proposes to collect and preserve those data, to add them to its large collection of data from earlier censuses, and to distribute those data and information about them widely.
