Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering

这份合同是对理工科研究生和博士后调查的进行和数据处理，每年进行一次，以产生关于理工科研究生项目注册学生的领域分布、支持来源和类型、性别、公民身份和种族/民族背景的数据，以及关于数量、资金来源、性别、以及高等教育机构雇用的理工科博士后的公民身份。承包商将生成详细的统计表，显示调查结果，并根据需要提供技术支持。根据修订后的《国家科学基金法案》的要求，国家科学基金会为收集、解释和分析有关美国当前和预计的科学和工程资源和人员可获得性的数据提供一个中央信息交换中心，作为其要求的一部分，NSF收集和传播有关学术机构科学和工程研究生招生的详细特征的统计数据。来自该调查系列的数据供国家科学基金会内部管理人员和国家科学委员会使用。以及联邦、州和机构各级的分析师，以预测科学家和工程师的供应变化，并结合基于其他来源的需求预测，对可能的供需失衡产生早期预警。

This contract is for the conduct and data processing of the Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering, conducted annually to yield data on the field distribution, sources and types of support, sex, citizenship, and racial/ethnic background of students enrolled in graduate programs in science and engineering fields, and on the number, sources of funding, sex, and citizenship of science/engineering postdoctorates employed by institutions of higher education. The contractor will generate detailed statistical tables displaying survey results and provide technical support as needed. As part of its requirement under the National Science Foundation Act, as amended, to provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on the current and projected availability of scientific and engineering resources and personnel in the United States, NSF collects and disseminates statistical data on detailed characteristics of graduate science and engineering enrollment in academic institutions. Data derived from this survey series are used by internal NSF management and the National Science Board. as well as by analysts at the Federal, State, and institutional levels to predict changes in the supply of scientists and engineers and, in combination with demand projections based on other sources, to generate early warning of possible imbalances of supply and demand.
