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).

the form are used by the reproduction 

contractor to accompany the orders. One 

copy of the form is kept by the 

contractor for their records, one copy is 

sent to the public requesting the 

documents, and the third copy (with no 

credit card data) is kept by the PDR staff 

for 90 calendar days, and then securely 

discarded.

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology?
