Summary of Collection

Title: 2001 National Survey of Recent

College Graduates

OMB Control Number: 3145–0077.

1. Abstract

The National Survey of Recent

College Graduates (NSRCG) has been

conducted biennially since 1974. For

the 2001 cycle, a sample of individuals

who have recently earned bachelor’s

and master’s degrees in science and

engineering from U.S. institutions will

be surveyed. The purpose of the study

is to provide national estimates

describing the relationship between

education and employment for

bachelor’s and master’s recipients in

science and engineering. The study is

one of three components of the

Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data

System (SESTAT), which produces

national estimates of the size and

characteristics of the nation’s science

and engineering population.

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 National Survey of

Recent College Graduates is designed to

comply with these mandates by

providing information on the supply

and utilization of scientists and

engineers at the bachelor’s and master’s

degree level. Collected data will be used

to produce estimates of the

characteristics of these individuals.

They will also provide necessary input

into the SESTAT labor force data

system, which produces national

estimates of the size and characteristics

of the country’s science and engineering

population. The Foundation uses this

information to prepare congressionally

mandated reports such as Women and

Minorities in Science and Engineering

and Science and Engineering Indicators.

A public release file of collected data,

designed to protect respondent

confidentiality, is expected to be made

available to researchers on CD–ROM

and on the World Wide Web.

The Survey will be primarily

conducted using Computer Assisted

Telephone Interviews (CATI).

Questionnaires will be mailed only to

those individuals who are unwilling to

provide information over the telephone

but willing to complete a mail

questionnaire. CATI interviewing will

begin in May 2001 and is estimated to

end in December 2001. The survey will

be collected in conformance with the

Privacy Act of 1974 and the individual’s

response to the survey is voluntary. NSF

will insure that all information collected

will be kept strictly confidential and

will be used only for research or

statistical purposes, analyzing data, and

preparing scientific reports and articles.

2. Expected Respondents

We will sample approximately 14,000

graduates with bachelor’s and master’s
