The Census Bureau intends to solicit and negotiate with the National Academy of Sciences, 500 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 to convene a panel of experts to: 1) Evaluate the depth and breadth of the 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) content; 2) Compare measures derived from the 2014 SIPP with comparable measures from the 2008 SIPP and administrative records data; 3) Evaluate the impact of the new SIPP data collection instrument on respondent burden; and, 4) Make recommendations for content changes for subsequent SIPP panels. The National Academy of Sciences has been identified as the only source that can provide the measure of expertise, independence, objectivity, and audience acceptance necessary to meet the program requirements of SEHSD on a continuous basis.
