Docatorate Data Project

摘要：本次收购的目的是获得数据收集、文件维护和分析/方法研究能力，以收集从美国大学获得研究博士学位的人员的信息，并监测他们随后在劳动力中的经历。该合同的主要责任是美国国家科学基金会（NSF），该机构被授权确定和评估美国科学家和工程师的数量和特征。负责收集和报告其他学科人员情况的其他联邦机构共同参与该项目的各个方面，以便在获得博士学位调查中，所有领域的所有获得研究博士学位的个人总数。几个相互关联的活动涉及这次收购的目的，目的是提供为期5年/周期的综合服务。该项目的核心是开展两个主要的正在进行的调查系统，其中一个系统为第二次调查提供样本。这些调查的数据将与每次调查的历史综合数据库合并，并与其他数据库合并，以提供有关国家人力资源的信息。获得博士学位的年度普查调查（SED）需要收集从美国大学获得研究博士学位的每个人的信息。调查结果被添加到博士记录文件（DRF）。“博士学位获得者调查”是一项每两年进行一次的调查，旨在收集理工科博士毕业后就业相关特征的信息。特别提款权的结果与SESTAT数据系统的其他组成部分调查相结合。由此产生的数据库被NSF和其他联邦赞助者以及政府内外的许多其他用户积极使用。承包商还将通过许可协议支持向学术研究人员和其他政府机构传播受限制数据文件的活动。通过这个项目收集和保存的资料是一项重要的国家资源，是关于这一重要人口的唯一资料来源。因此，它的获取和传播是至关重要的。该项目将由科学资源统计司（SRS）作为NSF和其他赞助SED和SDR的联邦机构的合同技术代表进行监督。截至2001财年，SED的其他联邦赞助者包括美国教育部（ED）、美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）、美国国家人文基金会（NEH）、美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和美国农业部（USDA）。对于特别提款权，美国国立卫生研究院也是一个发起人。过去，SDR的联邦赞助者包括能源部（DOE）和NEH。在合同期间，联邦赞助商的参与可能会改变并需要修改与项目相关的学科范围、通信、材料或产品的分发。

Abstract- Doctorate Data Project0208765The purpose of this acquisition is to procure a data collection, file maintenance, and analysis/ methodological research capability to collect information on persons receiving research doctorate awards from United States universities and to monitor their subsequent experiences in the labor force. The Federal agency with the lead responsibility for this contract is the National Science Foundation (NSF), which is authorized to identify and assess the numbers and characteristics of scientists and engineers in the United States. Other Federal agencies which have related responsibilities for collecting and reporting on persons in other disciplines participate jointly in aspects of this project, so that the total population of individuals of interest is all persons receiving research doctorates, in all fields, for the Survey of Earned Doctorates. Several interrelated activities address the purposes of this acquisition, which is intended to provide comprehensive services for a performance period of 5 years/cycles. Central to the project is the conduct of two major ongoing survey systems, one of which supplies the universe from which the sample for the second survey is drawn. Data from these surveys will be merged with the historical, comprehensive data bases for each survey and also merged with other data bases to provide information on the nation's human resources. The annual census Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) entails the collection of information on every individual receiving a research doctorate from a United States university. Results from the survey are added to the Doctorate Records File (DRF). The SED provides the universe from which a sample is drawn for the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR), a biennial survey collecting information on the post-graduation employment related characteristics of doctorate-holders in science and engineering. Results from the SDR are combined with other component surveys of the SESTAT data system. The resulting data bases are actively used by the NSF and the other Federal sponsors and numerous other users inside and outside of government. The contractor will also support the dissemination activities of the restricted data files to academic researchers and other government agencies through a licensing agreement. The information collected and maintained through this project constitutes a major national resource, offering the only source of information on this important population. Its accessibility and dissemination are therefore critical. This project will be monitored by the Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) as the contract technical representative for NSF and the other Federal agencies that sponsor the SED and the SDR. For the SED, other Federal sponsors as of FY2001 are the U.S. Department of Education (ED), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). For the SDR, the NIH is also a sponsor. In the past, SDR federal sponsors included the Department of Energy (DOE) and the NEH. During the course of the contract, the participation of Federal sponsors may change and necessitate modifications to the coverage of disciplines, distribution of communications, materials, or products related to the project.
