Note: The italics in the entries indicate deviations from the column heading, “2000 Census Evaluation Topic Reports.” Some of the entries were not topic reports but were experiments. Also, some of the operations were part of the 2000 Coverage Improvement report.

aDescribed as partial match because the CPEX proposals under automation are oriented principally at one component (handheld computers).

bPrivacy was also touched on by the Social Security Number, Privacy Attitudes, and Notification (SPAN) experiment.

cThe 2000 census included several ethnographic studies; administratively, about half were considered part of the experiments while others were formally designated as evaluations (and were the subject of a topic report).
