This project will convene a series of workshops, beginning in fiscal year 2021, to develop a vision for a new national data infrastructure for the social and behavioral sciences. The existing data infrastructure relies heavily upon statistics collected in surveys and censuses, yet the long-standing survey paradigm is under threat with declining participation rates. There are, however, many other sources of data that increasingly are available, including administrative data from states and local governments, public and private institutions, and businesses. Additional sources of data include 'big data' from the internet, connected devices, and sensors. This project will conduct three interrelated workshops on issues related to the development of a new national data infrastructure. A short consensus report will be written at the conclusion of each workshop. An improved data infrastructure is needed to address pressing social problems. Data and statistics from the federal government and academic researchers, including unemployment rates, crime rates, and people's perceptions of their society, provide the foundation for policymakers, businesses, and individuals to make informed decisions regarding the economy, society, and their lives. An improved national data infrastructure would provide many societal benefits, including improved decision making and more informed public policy.The need for a new data infrastructure has been widely acknowledged as national governments around the world recognize the strategic importance of data. The barriers, challenges, and issues for a new data infrastructure are complex and will require innovative approaches, methods, and tools. It also will require the support and trust of multiple actors, including the public, academia; federal, state, and local governments, and the private sector. The workshops will address these issues by focusing on three specific areas and questions. The first workshop will focus on delineating the scope, components, and key characteristics of a 21st century data infrastructure, including topics such as governance, the technical skills needed, and data sharing. The second workshop will focus on identifying the technology, tools, and capabilities needed for data access, sharing, use, and analysis, while protecting privacy and confidentiality. The third workshop will explore the implications of using multiple data sources for major survey programs, including linking data to survey responses to make surveys less burdensome and more efficient. Following each workshop, the organizing committee will discuss the key themes and their conclusions, which will be summarized in a targeted consensus report.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将从 2021 财年开始召开一系列研讨会，为社会和行为科学的新国家数据基础设施制定愿景。 现有的数据基础设施在很大程度上依赖于调查和人口普查中收集的统计数据，但长期存在的调查范式正受到参与率下降的威胁。然而，还有越来越多的其他数据来源可用，包括来自州和地方政府、公共和私人机构以及企业的行政数据。其他数据源包括来自互联网、联网设备和传感器的“大数据”。该项目将举办三个相互关联的研讨会，讨论与新的国家数据基础设施开发相关的问题。每次研讨会结束时将撰写一份简短的共识报告。需要改进的数据基础设施来解决紧迫的社会问题。来自联邦政府和学术研究人员的数据和统计数据，包括失业率、犯罪率和人们对社会的看法，为政策制定者、企业和个人就经济、社会及其生活做出明智的决策提供了基础。改进的国家数据基础设施将带来许多社会效益，包括改进决策和更明智的公共政策。随着世界各国政府认识到数据的战略重要性，对新数据基础设施的需求已得到广泛认可。新数据基础设施的障碍、挑战和问题很复杂，需要创新的方法、方法和工具。它还需要多方的支持和信任，包括公众、学术界；联邦、州和地方政府以及私营部门。研讨会将重点关注三个具体领域和问题来解决这些问题。第一个研讨会将重点描述 21 世纪数据基础设施的范围、组成部分和关键特征，包括治理、所需的技术技能和数据共享等主题。第二次研讨会将重点讨论数据访问、共享、使用和分析所需的技术、工具和功能，同时保护隐私和机密性。第三次研讨会将探讨使用多个数据源对主要调查项目的影响，包括将数据与调查回复联系起来，以减轻调查负担并提高效率。每次研讨会结束后，组委会将讨论关键主题及其结论，并在有针对性的共识报告中进行总结。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，认为值得支持标准。
