America COMPETES Reauthorization
Act of 2010 § 505, codified in the
National Science Foundation Act of
1950, as amended, the National Center
for Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) serves as a central Federal
clearinghouse for the collection,
interpretation, analysis, and
dissemination of objective data on
science, engineering, technology, and
research and development for use by
practitioners, researchers, policymakers,
and the public. The Survey of Earned
Doctorates (SED) is part of an integrated
survey system that collects data on
individuals in an effort to provide
information on science and engineering
education and careers in the United
States.
The SED has been conducted
annually since 1958 and is jointly
sponsored by six Federal agencies (the
National Science Foundation, National
Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of
Education, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, National Endowment for
the Humanities, and National
Aeronautics and Space Administration)
in order to avoid duplication. It is an
accurate, timely source of information
on one of our Nation’s most important
resources—highly educated individuals.
Data are obtained via Web survey or
paper questionnaire from each person
earning a research doctorate at the time
they receive the degree. Data are
collected on their field of specialty,
educational background, sources of
support in graduate school, debt level,
postgraduation plans for employment,
and demographic characteristics.
The Federal government, universities,
researchers, and others use the
information extensively. The National
Science Foundation, as the lead agency,
publishes statistics from the survey in
several reports, but primarily in the
annual publication series, ‘‘Doctorate
Recipients from U.S. Universities.’’
These reports are available on the NSF
Web site.
The survey will be collected in
conformance with the Privacy Act of
1974. Responses from individuals are
voluntary. NSF will ensure that all
individually identifiable information
collected will be kept strictly
confidential and will be used for
research or statistical purposes,
analyzing data, and preparing scientific
reports and articles.
2. Expected Respondents: A total
response rate of 92% of the 51,008
persons who earned a research doctorate
was obtained in academic year 2012.
This level of response rate has been
consistent for several years. Based on
the historical trend, in 2016
approximately 56,000 individuals are
