Management of the Science and Engineering Labor Force Model and Data Base

承包商将维护和改进用于生成国家科学家和工程师特征估计的计算机模型。承包商还将提供数据库管理服务，以支持国家科学基金会和其他人员调查，并开发在个人计算机上使用的定制表格生成程序。该基金会负责开发和维护有关科学家和工程师的人口、教育和就业信息的数据库。这一数据库即科学和技术人员数据系统，包括三项调查：全国自然和社会科学及工程师调查、自然和社会科学及工程学毕业生调查和博士学位获得者调查。《全国自然和社会科学及工程师调查》和《自然、社会科学和工程学毕业生调查》的结果结合在一起，得出了美国科学和工程人口的全国性估计数字。

The contractor will maintain and enhance the computer model used to generate national estimates of the characteristics of scientists and engineers. The contractor will also provide for data base management services in support of NSF and other personnel surveys as well as develop customized table generation procedures for use on personal computers. 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, includes three surveys: the National Survey of Natural and Social Scientists and Engineers, the Survey of Natural and Social Science and Engineering Graduates, and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients. Results of the National Survey of Natural and Social Scientists and Engineers and the Survey of Natural and Social Science and Engineering Graduates are combined to produce national estimates of the science and engineering population in the United States.
