... However, the complex structure of SIPP data is itself a barrier to SIPP data use, and a simplified table generator might broaden the use of SIPP to a larger audience. For example, policymakers may want simple descriptive statistics of program participants, or researchers may want an initial look at the data before pursuing more complex analyses through SODA or through a Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC)

... The development of a remote table generator and analysis platform would serve the wider research and policy analyst community and could help provide evidence and inform subsequent grant or FSRDC applications using SIPP. There are some working examples of remote flexible table generators, particularly for census outputs that can be used by the public or require a light registration process.

... Implementation may require a registration process before policy analysts could access more restricted data compared to what would be available to the wider public on the internet. Future development of this strategy would require ongoing collaborations among the academic community and government researchers.

... RECOMMENDATION Recommendation 7-1: The Census Bureau should assess the demand for an initial flexible table generator as a simple tool, with a specific purpose, that is designed to gauge value and provide direction for fur ther development, and proceed with the development of one if there appears to be sufficient demand.
