Abstract:
|
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a set of Standards and Guidelines for Statistical Surveys in September 2006. The OMB standards codify the professional principles and practices that Federal Statistical Agencies are required to adhere to when conducting surveys. The standards also provide guidance on the level of quality and expected effort in conducting the statistical activities. The OMB guidance was not designed to be completely exhaustive in all the efforts an agency may undertake to ensure the quality of it statistical information. In fact, agencies are encouraged to develop additional, more detailed standards focused on their specific activities. The Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) within the National Science Foundation (NSF) has been undertaking major innovation and change in many of our national surveys.
