PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Proposed Project Graduate students in science, engineering, and health-related fields in U.S. colleges and universities, by source and mechanism of support and by demographic characteristics. An electronic/mail survey, the Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and engineering originated in 1966 and has been conducted annually since 1972. The survey is the academic graduate enrollment component of the NSF statistical program that seeks to ‘‘provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on the availability of, and the current and projected need for, scientific and technical resources in the United States, and to provide a source of information for policy formulation by other agencies of the Federal government’’ as mandated in the National Science Foundation Act of 1950. The proposed project will continue the current survey cycle for three years. The annual Fall surveys for 2005 through 2007 will survey the universe of 712 reporting units (schools) at 592 graduate degree-granting institutions. There are 12, 262 departments at these schools that offer accredited graduate programs in science, engineering or health. The survey has provided continuity of statistics on graduate school enrollment and support for graduate students in all science & engineering (S&E) and health fields, with separate data requested on demographic characteristics (race/ ethnicity and gender by full-time and part-time enrollment status). Statistics from the survey are published in NSF’s annual publication series Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering, in NSF publications Science and Engineering Indicators, Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering, and are available electronically on the World Wide Web. The survey will be sent primarily to the administrators at the Institutional Research Offices. To minimize burden, NSF instituted a Web-based survey in 1998 through which institutions can enter data directly or upload preformatted files. The Web-based survey includes a complete program for editing and trend checking and allows institutions to receive their previous year’s data for comparison. Respondents will be encouraged to participate in this Web-based survey should they so wish. Traditional paper questionnaires will also be available, with editing and trend checking performed as part of the survey processing. In the currently E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM 24MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 24, 2005 / Notices ongoing Fall 2004 GSS survey, preliminary data indicate that 95% of the institutions are submitting the data on the Web-based data collection system.

    Graduate students in science, engineering, and health-related 
fields in U.S. colleges and universities, by source and mechanism of 
support and by demographic characteristics. An electronic/mail survey, 
the Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and
