Microdata for Population Dynamics and Health Research

项目摘要 IPUMS是一个由九个集成数据库组成的家族，其中包含最大和最密集使用的数据 人口动态和健康研究资源。这一相互竞争的延续建议有两个主要方面 目标.首先，该项目将为扩大、改进和维护IPUMS-USA提供主要支持， 它由十年一次的人口普查和美国社区调查的微观数据组成。二是项目 将在九个IPUMS数据库之间提供中央协调，利用协同作用，消除 多余的工作在过去的五年里，IPUMS已经看到了使用的研究人员数量的爆炸性增长， 数据库、他们要求的数据量以及他们出版的高影响力出版物的数量。在 然而，与此同时，研究人员对扩展、改进和支持的需求也是前所未有的 的基础设施。该项目将开展四项主要活动来满足这一需求： 1.数据库扩展。我们将添加来自美国社区调查和1950年人口普查的数据， 变量，以适应新的标准，并评估新的人口普查局披露控制。 2. IPUMS-FSRDC。我们将使IPUMS数据存放在联邦统计研究数据中心更多 通过全面的文档、简化的访问和改进受限的 微观数据，包括新的统一的小区域识别码。 3.数据访问重新设计。我们将重新设计IPUMS用户界面，并提供新的工具， 发现和数据共享，包括符合现代无障碍标准的新用户界面， 简化数据共享以进行复制和协作，并增强我们的在线数据分析工具。 4. IPUMS协调。该项目将使技术开发、用户支持和外联工作同步进行， 以及对九个IPUMS数据库的保护和可持续性的长期规划， 重复工作，增加影响，并降低IPUMS数据基础设施的成本。 IPUMS通过最大限度地减少多余的工作， 简化数据访问，增加研究的可复制性，并提高数据的可靠性。的可用性 大规模的集成微数据为细粒度的上下文 分析人口动态和健康，导致在各种不同的领域进行变革性研究， 主题和学科。

Project Summary IPUMS is a family of nine integrated databases that comprise the largest and most intensively-used data resource for research on population dynamics and health. This competing continuation proposal has two main goals. First, the project will provide the primary support for expanding, improving, and maintaining IPUMS-USA, which consists of microdata from decennial censuses and American Community Surveys. Second, the project will provide central coordination across the nine IPUMS databases, exploiting synergies and eliminating redundant work. Over the past five years, IPUMS has seen explosive growth in the number of researchers using the database, the amount of data they request, and the number of high-impact publications they produce. At the same time, however, there is unprecedented demand from researchers for expansion, improvement, and support of the infrastructure. This project will undertake four major activities to meet this demand: 1. Database Expansion. We will add data from the American Community Survey and the 1950 census, update variables to accommodate new standards, and evaluate new Census Bureau disclosure controls. 2. IPUMS-FSRDC. We will make IPUMS data housed in the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers more usable through comprehensive documentation, streamlined access, and improvement of the restricted microdata, including new harmonized small-area identifiers. 3. Data Access Redesign. We will redesign the IPUMS user interface and provide new tools for variable discovery and data sharing, including a new user interface conforming to modern accessibility standards, simplified data sharing for replication and collaboration, and enhancement of our online data analysis tool. 4. IPUMS Coordination. The project will synchronize technological development, user support and outreach, and long-run planning for preservation and sustainability across the nine IPUMS databases to avoid duplication of effort, increase the impact, and reduce the cost of IPUMS data infrastructure. IPUMS reduces costs for the population and health research community by minimizing redundant effort, simplifying data access, increasing the replicability of studies, and improving data reliability. The availability of large-scale integrated microdata has opened extraordinary new opportunities for fine-grained contextual analyses of population dynamics and health, resulting in transformational research across a diverse range of topics and disciplines.
