1993 Longitudinal Doctorate Project

该项目将提供关于 博士生的人口学和就业特征 科学家、工程师和人文主义者。 为了实现这一目标，美国国家科学院将 进行1993年博士学位获得者调查，制定一个 纵向信息档案（博士工作历史 文件），并从 1993年调查。 调查回复率将大大提高 通过广泛使用计算机辅助电话， 面试（CATI）。 基金会负责开发和维护 人口统计学、教育和就业数据库 科学家和工程师的信息。 这个数据库， 科学技术人员数据系统，要求 来自三个调查系列的投入： 自然和社会科学家和工程师， 自然和社会科学家和工程毕业生，以及 博士学位获得者的调查。 调查的数据 博士学位获得者经常被用来确定 美国各方面的现状。S.科学和工程， 例如，在一个实施例中，研究和开发活动的变化， 也可以与其他数据结合使用 为分析和政策目的进行的调查。 共同赞助 这些机构是国家人文基金会， 美国国立卫生研究院和能源部。

This project will produce current information on the demographic and employment characteristics of doctoral scientists, engineers, and humanists in the United States. To accomplish this, the National Academy of Sciences will conduct the 1993 Survey of Doctorate Recipients, develop a longitudinal file of information (the Doctorate Work History File), and prepare a variety of cross-tabulations from the 1993 survey. The survey response rate will be greatly enhanced by extensive use of computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI). The Foundation is responsible for developing and maintaining a data base of demographic, educational, and employment information on scientists and engineers. This data base, the Scientific and Technical Personnel Data System, requires input from three survey series: The National Survey of Natural and Social Scientists and Engineers, The Survey of Natural and Social Scientist and Engineering Graduates, and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients. Data from the Survey of Doctorate Recipients are frequently used to determine the status of various aspects of U. S. science and engineering, e.g., changes in research and development activities, and are also used in conjunction with data from the other surveys for analytical and policy purposes. Co-sponsoring agencies are the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy.
