The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) has collected basic statistics from the universe of doctoral recipients in the United States each year since 1957. National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics Research and Development Statistics Program The information included in this survey has been stable since fiscal year 1973, when federal obligations for research to universities and colleges by agency and detailed science and engineering fields were added to the survey.įurther information on federal funds for research and development may be obtained from There is no known unit or item nonresponse, so no weighting or imputation methods are used NCSES assumes a blank field is zero for estimation purposes. The data are collected and managed online this system was designed to help improve survey reporting by offering respondents direct online reporting and editing. Actual data are collected for the fiscal year just completed estimated dataare obtained for the current fiscal year. Because multiple subdivisions of some federal departments completed the survey, there were 83 agency-level respondents: 5 federal departments, 60 agencies within another 10 federal departments, and 18 independent agencies.įederal funds data are for the fiscal year just completed and the current fiscal year.

The survey’s target population consists of the federal agencies that conduct research and development programs, excluding the CIA.

It is used by policymakers in the executive and legislative branches of the federal government in determining policies, laws, and regulations affecting science it is also used by those who follow science trends in every sector of the economy, including university administrators and professors, economic and political analysts, research and development managers inside and outside the government, the science press, and leading members of the science community in the United States and around the world. The annual Survey of Federal Funds for Research and Development is the primary source of information about federal funding for research and development in the United States.
