SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Survey of Earned 

Doctorates. 

OMB Control Number: 3145–0019. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

May 31, 2026. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend an information 

collection for three years. 

Abstract: Established within the NSF 

by the America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 section 505, 

codified in the NSF Act of 1950, as 

amended, the National Center for 

Science and Engineering Statistics 

(NCSES) serves as a central Federal 

clearinghouse for the collection, 

interpretation, analysis, and 

dissemination of objective data on 

science, engineering, technology, and 

research and development for use by 

practitioners, researchers, policymakers, 

and the public. 

The Survey of Earned Doctorates 

(SED) is part of NCSES’ survey system 

that collects data on individuals to 

provide information on science and 

engineering education and careers in the 

United States. The SED has been 

conducted annually since 1958 and is 

jointly sponsored by four Federal 

agencies (NSF/NCSES, National 

Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of 

Education/National Center for 

Education Statistics, and National 

Endowment for the Humanities) to 

avoid duplication of effort in collecting 

such data. It is an accurate, timely 

source of information on one of our 

Nation’s most important resources— 

highly educated individuals. This 

request to extend the information 

collection for three years is to cover the 

2026 and 2027 SED survey cycles. 

Data are obtained via Web survey 

from each person earning a research 

doctorate at the time they receive the 

degree. Data are collected on their field 

of specialty, educational background, 

sources of support in graduate school, 

debt level, postgraduation plans, and 

demographic characteristics. NCSES 

publishes statistics from the survey in 

several reports. The survey will be 

collected in conformance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974. Responses from 

individuals are voluntary. NCSES will 

ensure that all individually identifiable 

information collected will be kept 

strictly confidential and will be used 

only for research or statistical purposes. 

Use of the Information: The Federal 

Government, universities, researchers, 

policy makers, and others use the 

information extensively. Results from 

the SED are used to assess 

characteristics of the doctorate 

population and trends in doctoral 

education and degrees. Data from the 

survey are published annually on the 

NCSES website in a publication series 

reporting on all fields of study, titled 

Doctorate Recipients from U.S. 

Universities (https://www.nsf.gov/ 

statistics/doctorates). Information from 

the SED is also included in other series 

available online: Science and 

Engineering Indicators (https://

ncses.nsf.gov/indicators); and Women, 

Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities 

in Science and Engineering (https:// 

www.nsf.gov/statistics/women). In 

addition, access to tabular data from 

selected variables is available through 

the NCSES online data tool (https://

ncsesdata.nsf.gov/builder/sed) and the 

SED Restricted Data System (https://

ncsesdata.nsf.gov/rdas). 

Expected Respondents: The SED is a 

census of all individuals receiving a 

research doctorate from an accredited 

U.S. academic institution in the 

academic year beginning 1 July and 

ending 30 June of the subsequent year. 

As such, the population for the 2026 

SED consists of all individuals receiving 

a research doctorate in the 12-month 

period beginning 1 July 2025 and 

ending 30 June 2026. Likewise, the 

population for the 2027 SED consists of 

all individuals receiving a research 

doctorate in the 12-month period 

beginning 1 July 2026 and ending 30 

June 2027. A research doctorate is a 

doctoral degree that (1) requires 

completion of an original intellectual 

contribution in the form of a 

dissertation or an equivalent
