项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A vast archive of raw census microdata covering Eurasia in the period since 1960 survives in machine- readable form. Over the past five years, this project has made a substantial portion of these data available to researchers for the first time. This proposal seeks continued funding to preserve, integrate, and freely disseminate large-scale Eurasian population microdata samples. The first phase of the project, focusing on European data, is on schedule to accomplish all the goals described in our original application. The primary goal was processing data and documentation to create publicly-accessible large-scale census microdata samples from multiple decades for a wide range of European countries and disseminating those data to researchers. This work involved data cleaning, drawing samples, implementing confidentiality protections, creating integrated variables, developing comprehensive metadata, and disseminating the data and metadata through a sophisticated web-based access system. This competing continuation project will extend the geographic scope eastward to cover Asia, prepare 40 additional census microdata samples for release to the research community, improve the geographic variables in the database, and recover data at risk of destruction. In addition to adding new partner countries, the expansion of the database will add new samples from the 2010 round of censuses for countries already incorporated into the integrated data series, and increase the size of several existing samples. The project leverages previous federal investments in social science infrastructure. Grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation laid the groundwork for the project by funding many of the fixed costs. Those projects underwrote the development of data cleaning and sampling procedures, metadata systems, data conversion and dissemination software, and design protocols for data and documentation. Raw microdata files, internal documentation, and redistribution agreements for most censuses to be processed have already been obtained. As a result, this project is highly cost-effective. The integrated database provides fundamental infrastructure for scientific research, education, and policy- making. The new data will allow social scientists to make comparisons across Europe and Asia during five decades of transformative change, and will result in a substantial body of new research on population health, economic development, fertility and mortality decline, population aging, migration, and reshaping of families. By opening new avenues for investigating the causes and consequences of population dynamics, this infrastructure directly addresses the priorities of the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of NICHD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed database is directly relevant to the central mission of the National Institutes of Health; by adding dozens of new Eurasian census samples to a global, integrated database of census microdata, this infrastructure will advance fundamental knowledge about the nature of human population dynamics and will spark new health-related research. The data series will result in a substantial body of new scientific and policy- relevant health-related research on key priority areas of the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of NICHD, including family change, population health, and migration. By opening access to a vast collection of microdata, including material from the 2010 census round, the project will allow social science and health researchers to address fundamental questions about the impact of the extraordinary social and economic transformations that have reshaped the Eurasian continent during the past half century.

描述（由申请人提供）：自 1960 年以来覆盖欧亚大陆的大量原始人口普查微观数据档案以机器可读的形式保存下来。在过去的五年里，该项目首次向研究人员提供了这些数据的很大一部分。该提案寻求持续资助来保存、整合和自由传播大规模欧亚人口微观数据样本。该项目的第一阶段重点关注欧洲数据，按计划实现我们原始申请中描述的所有目标。主要目标是处理数据和文档，为广泛的欧洲国家创建几十年来可公开访问的大规模人口普查微观数据样本，并将这些数据传播给研究人员。这项工作涉及数据清理、抽取样本、实施保密保护、创建集成变量、开发全面的元数据以及通过复杂的基于网络的访问系统传播数据和元数据。这一竞争性延续项目将把地理范围向东扩展至覆盖亚洲，准备 40 个额外的人口普查微观数据样本以发布给研究界，改进数据库中的地理变量，并在面临破坏风险的情况下恢复数据。除了添加新的伙伴国家外，数据库的扩展还将为已纳入综合数据系列的国家添加 2010 年一轮人口普查的新样本，并增加几个现有样本的规模。该项目利用了之前联邦对社会科学基础设施的投资。美国国立卫生研究院和国家科学基金会的拨款为许多固定成本提供了资金，为该项目奠定了基础。这些项目资助了数据清理和采样程序、元数据系统、数据转换和传播软件以及数据和文档设计协议的开发。大多数待处理的人口普查的原始微观数据文件、内部文件和重新分配协议已经获得。因此，该项目具有很高的成本效益。综合数据库为科学研究、教育和政策制定提供了基础设施。新数据将使社会科学家能够对欧洲和亚洲在五个十年的变革过程中进行比较，并将产生大量有关人口健康、经济发展、生育率和死亡率下降、人口老龄化、移民和人口重塑的新研究的家庭。通过开辟新的途径来调查人口动态的原因和后果，该基础设施直接解决了 NICHD 人口和行为科学部门的优先事项。公共卫生相关性：拟议的数据库与美国国立卫生研究院的中心使命直接相关；通过将数十个新的欧亚人口普查样本添加到全球人口普查微观数据综合数据库中，该基础设施将增进有关人口动态性质的基础知识，并将激发新的健康相关研究。该数据系列将在 NICHD 人口和行为科学分部的关键优先领域（包括家庭变化、人口健康和移民）产生大量新的科学和政策相关的健康相关研究。通过开放大量微观数据，包括 2010 年人口普查的材料，该项目将使社会科学和健康研究人员能够解决有关过去重塑欧亚大陆的非凡社会和经济转型影响的基本问题半个世纪。
