consultative peer review. MAP is
supported through a cooperative
agreement between IMLS and the
American Alliance of Museums.
Program participants choose from
among four assessments: Collections
Stewardship, Community and Audience
Engagement, Education and
Interpretation, and Organizational.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:26 Sep 03, 2024
Jkt 262001
Abstract: Established within NSF by
the 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 National Survey of College
Graduates (NSCG) is designed to comply
with these mandates by providing
information on the supply and
utilization of the nation’s scientists and
engineers. The purpose of the NSCG is
to collect data that will be used to
provide national estimates on the size,
composition such as demographics,
fields of degree and veteran’s status, and
activities such as work activities, workrelated training, professional conference
attendance of the science and
engineering workforce and changes in
their employment, education, and
demographic characteristics (for
example, race and ethnicity, citizenship,
gender, age, disability status, place of
birth). The NSCG has been conducted
biennially since the 1970s. The 2025
NSCG sample will be selected from the
2023 American Community Survey
(ACS) and the 2023 NSCG. By selecting
the sample from these two sources, the
2025 NSCG will provide coverage of the
college graduate population residing in
the United States.
The U.S. Census Bureau, as the
agency responsible for the ACS, will
serve as the NSCG data collection
contractor for NCSES. The survey data
collection is expected to begin in March
2025 and continue for approximately six
months. Data will be collected using
web and mail questionnaires. The
individual’s response to the survey is
voluntary. The survey will be conducted
in conformance with Census Bureau
statistical quality standards and, as
such, the NSCG data will be afforded
confidentiality protection under the
applicable Census Bureau
confidentiality statutes.
Use of the Information: NSF uses the
information from the NSCG to prepare
congressionally mandated reports such
as Diversity and STEM: Women,
Minorities and Persons with Disabilities
(https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/women/)
and Science and Engineering Indicators
(https://ncses.nsf.gov/indicators),
both of which are available online. A
public release file of collected data,
designed to protect respondent
confidentiality, will be made available
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on the internet and will be accessible
through an online data tool (https://
ncsesdata.nsf.gov/ids/).
Expected Respondents: A statistical
sample of approximately 161,000
individuals (103,000 returning sample
members and 58,000 new sample
members) will be contacted in 2025,
using the ACS as the sampling frame in
the rotating panel design. Under the
rotating panel design, the 2025 NSCG
production sample will include 161,000
sample cases which comprises:
1. Returning sample from the 2023
NSCG (originally selected from the 2017
ACS);
2. Returning sample from the 2023
NSCG (originally selected from the 2019
ACS);
3. Returning sample from the 2023
NSCG (originally selected from the 2021
ACS); and
4. New sample selected from the 2023
ACS
Based on recent survey cycles, NCSES
expects the overall response rate to be
60–65 percent.
Estimate of Burden: The amount of
time to complete the questionnaire may
vary depending on an individual’s
educational history, employment status,
and past response to the NSCG. The
time to complete the 2023 NSCG web
survey ranged from 19.6 minutes on
average for the returning sample
members to 26.3 minutes on average for
the new members, and approximately
91% of respondents completed the
survey by using the web mode. Among
respondents who completed the survey
using Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI) and Telephone
Questionnaire Assistance (TQA) modes,
in which sample members contacted
Census’s call center and took the survey
over the phone, their interview times
ranged from 33.6 minutes for returning
sample members to 44.3 minutes for
new sample members, and less than 2%
of respondents completed the NSCG
questionnaire by using the telephone
mode. It was estimated that all forms of
the 2023 NSCG paper questionnaire
took 30 minutes to complete, and about
7% of respondents completed the paper
form. Although the 2023 NSCG include
a CATI mode, this mode is proposed to
be discontinued in the 2025 NSCG due
to increasing costs, reduced budget and
low response in the 2023 cycle. TQA
staff will take incoming interviews.
Based on the 2023 cycle’s survey
completion times, it is estimated that it
will take approximately 23 minutes, on
average, to complete the 2025 NSCG
questionnaire. This takes into account
the proposed removal of CATI and the
continuation of TQA. This estimate also
takes into account the continuation of
