The 2016/20 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/20) is conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). B&B is designed to follow a cohort of students who completed the
requirements for their bachelor’s degree during the 2015-16 academic year. B&B examines students’ education and work
experiences after they complete a bachelor’s degree, with a special emphasis on the experiences of school teachers. The request
to conduct the B&B:16/20 full-scale study was approved by OMB on May 1, 2020 (1850-0926 v.9), with the last update approved on
June 7, 2020 (1850-0926 v.10). Data collection is scheduled to take place from Summer 2020 through Spring 2021.The B&Beligible cohort is initially identified in the National Postsecondary Study Aid Study (NPSAS). The first cohort (B&B:93) was identified
in NPSAS:93 and consisted of students who received their bachelor’s degree in the 1992–93 academic year. NPSAS:93 provided
the base-year data and students were surveyed in 1994 for the initial follow-up. The B&B:93 cohort was surveyed again in 1997 and
2003. The second cohort (B&B:2000) was selected from NPSAS:2000, which became the base year for a single B&B:00/01 followup. The third cohort (B&B:08) was selected from NPSAS:08, which became the base year for follow-up data collections in 2009,
2012, and the final follow-up in 2018. The fourth cohort (B&B:16) was selected from NPSAS:16, which is the base year for follow-up
data collections in 2017, 2020, and 2026 (anticipated). The B&B:93 and B&B:08 cohorts included transcript collections. (Please note
that the B&B:08/18 field test and the B&B:16/17 full-scale study were in data collection at the same time. To accommodate this
overlap in timing, B&B cohorts prior to B&B:16 are approved under OMB# 1850-0729 while the B&B:16 cohort is approved under
OMB# 1850-0926.) This request includes an update of the data collection design of the main B&B:16/20 study based on the results
of the Calibration Experiment which investigated the use of two different prepaid incentives forms. This request does not introduce
significant changes to the estimated respondent burden or the costs to the federal government.
