This paper discusses some important aspects of experience gained from the NLS project in an effort to assist planners of the new Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Reviewed are the dilemmas inherent in managing a large-scale, complex data base and coordinating a project whose responsibilities are split among several geographically distant agencies. The review provides details on the impact of staff turnover, staffing expertise, internal organizational design and management decisions on significant aspects of the NLS survey design and data processing tasks and concludes with specific suggestions and recommendations for the implementation of SIPP.
