2023 Survey of Doctorate Recipients (NCSES)

The purpose of this panel survey is to collect data that will be used to provide national estimates biennially on the doctoral science and engineering workforce and to measure changes in their employment, education and demographic characteristics. Historically, the survey has been designed to allow cross-sectional reporting for a large number of fields of study. This request continues the commitment in the prior revision to build an efficient, effective and sustainable longitudinal design to support longitudinal estimation. The data collected in this survey will enable the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) to partially fulfill the Congressional mandate to serve as a clearinghouse for information on the doctoral level scientific and technical population of the U.S. This information allows for policy and planning activities by officials of government, private industry, and academic institutions.
