Infrastructure for Data Sharing and Archiving: The Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch (DBSB) of the Center for Population Research (CPR) of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) invites applications to establish cooperative infrastructure to facilitate data sharing in population research. The purpose of this request is to establish a capability to assist in making large-scale, complex datasets available to the population research community for secondary research analysis. These datasets typically will be those collected with substantial DBSB support. The desired capability to facilitate data sharing must have the following characteristics: (1) the ability to use state-of-the- art computer technology to store, document and access large-scale datasets, (2) the capability to advise the users about the technical aspects of the database, (3) the capability to implement appropriate data security measures to protect the privacy of human subjects in complex datasets, and (4) the ability to maintain effective outreach to maximize the usage of datasets by current and potential data users.
