Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: SemiAnnual Progress Report for Grantees 

from the Enhanced Training and 

Services to End Violence Against and 

Abuse of Women Later in Life Program 

(Elder Abuse Program). 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: Form Number: 1122–0008. 

U.S. Department of Justice, Office on 

Violence Against Women. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: The affected public includes 

the approximately 18 grantees of the 

Elder Abuse Program. Elder Abuse 

Program grants may be used for training 

programs to assist law enforcement 

officers, prosecutors, and relevant 

officers of Federal, State, tribal, and 

local courts in recognizing, addressing, 

investigating, and prosecuting instances 

of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation 

and violence against individuals with 

disabilities, including domestic violence 

and sexual assault, against older or 

disabled individuals. Grantees fund 

projects that focus on providing training 

for criminal justice professionals to 

enhance their ability to address elder 

abuse, neglect and exploitation in their 

communities and enhanced services to 

address these crimes. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond/reply: It is estimated that it will 

take the approximately 18 respondents 

(Elder Abuse Program grantees) 

approximately one hour to complete a 

semi-annual progress report. The semiannual progress report is divided into 

sections that pertain to the different 

types of activities in which grantees 

may engage. An Elder Abuse Program 

grantee will only be required to 

complete the sections of the form that 

pertain to its own specific activities. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total annual hour burden 

to complete the data collection forms is 

36 hours, that is 18 grantees completing 

a form twice a year with an estimated 

completion time for the form being one 

hour.

Title of Collection: 2019 Survey of 

Doctorate Recipients. 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020. 

Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 

2020. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection for three years. 

1. Abstract. The Survey of Doctorate 

Recipients (SDR) has been conducted 

biennially since 1973 and is a 

longitudinal survey. The 2019 SDR will 

consist of a sample of individuals under 

76 years of age who have earned a 

research doctoral degree in a science, 

engineering or health (SEH) field from a 

U.S. institution. The purpose of this 

panel survey is to collect data that will 

be used to provide national estimates on 

the doctoral science and engineering 

workforce and changes in their 

employment, education and 

demographic characteristics. 

The National Science Foundation Act 

of 1950, as subsequently amended, 

includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . . 

provide a central clearinghouse for the 

collection, interpretation, and analysis 

of data on scientific and engineering 

resources, and to provide a source of 

information for policy formulation by 

other agencies of the Federal 

Government.’’ The SDR is designed to 

comply with these mandates by 

providing information on the supply 

and utilization of the nation’s doctoral 

level scientists and engineers. 

Data will be obtained by web survey, 

mail questionnaire, and computerassisted telephone interviews beginning 

in February 2019. The survey will be 

collected in conformance with the 

Confidential Information Protection and 

Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 and 

the individual’s response to the survey 

is voluntary. NCSES will ensure that all 

information collected will be kept 

strictly confidential and will be used 

only for statistical purposes. 

2. Use of the Information. NCSES uses 

the information from the SDR to prepare 

congressionally mandated reports such 

as Women, Minorities and Persons with 

Disabilities in Science and Engineering 

and Science and Engineering Indicators. 

NCSES publishes statistics from the 

SDR in many reports, but primarily in 

the biennial series, Characteristics of 

Scientists and Engineers with U.S. 

Doctorates. A public release file of 

collected data, designed to protect 

respondent confidentiality, also will be 

made available to researchers on the 

internet. 

3. Expected Respondents. The U.S. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) previously directed that NCSES 

enhance and expand the sample to 

measure employment outcomes by the 

fine field of degree taxonomy used in 

the Survey of Earned Doctorates. This 

was initiated in the 2015 cycle and 

maintained in the 2017 cycle. For the 

2019 SDR, a statistical sample of 

approximately 120,000 individuals with 

U.S. earned doctorates in science, 

engineering or health will be contacted. 

This sample will include approximately 

106,400 individuals residing in the U.S. 

and 13,600 residing abroad. NCSES 

expects the overall 2019 SDR response 

rate to be approximately 75 percent. 

4. Estimate of Burden. The amount of 

time to complete the questionnaire may 

vary depending on an individual’s 

circumstances; however, on average, it 

takes approximately 25 minutes. Thus, 

NCSES estimates that the total annual 

burden for both components will be 

37,500 hours (that is, 120,000 

respondents at 75% response rate for 25 

minutes).
