DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad objective of this project is to increase knowledge about and skills in accessing and using large scale databases as a normal part of the research process. The immediate goal of this application is to request funding for five annual training workshops to train researchers to access, analyze and use the data sets of the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD), a longitudinal, comprehensive study of the development of children in the context of their family and in out of home environments. During the course of the 5-day Institute, expert instructors (study investigators and statistical analysts) will familiarize carefully selected participants with the NICHD study data. Topics covered will include the conceptual framework of the study, its methodological design, the documentation of research instruments, the documentation of the psychometric properties of a large subset of variables included in the analytical data sets and with the raw data sets. Participants will be able to consult with instructors about the most appropriate variables for their analyses, and about cutting-edge analytical methods. The workshops will include classroom lecture sessions, discussion sessions, and computer lab "hands on" sessions in which participants will access and use the data sets. The goal of the workshop is for participants to be able to independently use and train others to use the NICHD databases for original scholarship and publication. The Advanced Training Institute (ATI) will train about 20 researchers each year. Over the five years of the project, a cadre of about 100 researchers will develop expertise about the NICHD SECCYD databases and other databases. This knowledge will increase the return on investment in the creation of such large scale data bases in many ways: it will augment knowledge in the area of child development by encouraging multidisciplinary approaches, it will encourage large and detailed sample knowledge, it will encourage secondary analyses in ways that would not have been possible otherwise, and it will extend the utility of the data to a broad set of researchers beyond the original study investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的广泛目的是增加有关访问和使用大型数据库作为研究过程的正常部分的知识和技能。该应用程序的直接目标是要求为五个年度培训研讨会提供资金，以培训研究人员访问，分析和使用NICHD早期儿童保育和青年发展研究的数据集（SECCYD），这是对家庭和家庭环境中儿童发展的纵向，全面研究。在为期5天的研究所的过程中，专家讲师（研究研究人员和统计分析师）将熟悉精心选择的参与者使用NICHD研究数据。涵盖的主题将包括研究的概念框架，其方法论设计，研究工具的文档，分析数据集中包含的大量变量子集的心理计量学特性的文档以及原始数据集。参与者将能够就其分析和最先进的分析方法的最合适变量咨询。研讨会将包括课堂讲座会议，讨论会议和计算机实验室“ Hands on”会议，参与者将访问和使用数据集。研讨会的目的是让参与者能够独立使用和培训其他人使用NICHD数据库进行原始奖学金和出版物。 高级培训学院（ATI）每年将培训约20名研究人员。在该项目的五年中，大约100名研究人员的干部将开发有关NICHD SECCYD数据库和其他数据库的专业知识。这些知识将在许多方面增加创建如此大规模数据库的投资回报：它将通过鼓励多学科方法来增强儿童发展领域的知识，它将鼓励大型详细的样本知识，它将以不可能的方式鼓励次级分析，并且将不可能将数据扩展到广泛的研究人员之外的广泛研究者的实用性。
