This survey provides data on the number and characteristics of students in graduate science and engineering and health-related fields enrolled in U.S. institutions. This annual survey collects data items at the academic department level. 2009-07-01T12:07:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/profiles/ The FY2006 version of the annual Academic Institutional Profiles is available. Academic Institutional Profiles consist of institution-specific data from the Survey of R&D Expenditures at Universities and Colleges, Survey of Federal S&E Support to Universities, Colleges and Nonprofit Institutions, Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates, and Survey of Earned Doctorates. Key data items are summarized and institutions rankings are presented. 2009-07-01T12:07:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf09314/ The 2007 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (S&E) showed an annual growth rate of 3.3% for enrollments in S&E graduate programs, the highest since 2002. Sciences added more students in absolute numbers, but the annual growth rate in engineering fields (5.9%) was substantially higher than in science fields (2.4%). The proportion of foreign student enrollments remained below its 2002 high, despite an annual growth rate of 4.6%, the highest since 2002. 2009-06-24T12:06:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvyfedfunds/ The description of the Survey of Federal Funds for R&D has been updated for the FY 2007-09 cycle of the survey. The annual Federal funds survey is the primary source of information about Federal funding for R&D in the United States. 2009-06-16T12:06:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvyfedsupport/ The description of the Survey of Federal Science & Engineering (S&E) Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions has been updated for the 2007 survey cycle. This is an annual congressionally mandated survey that is the only source of comprehensive data on federal S&E funding to individual academic and nonprofit institutions. 2009-06-02T12:06:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf09310/ Data presented in this report are from the Survey of Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions: Fiscal Year 2006, and contains comprehensive detailed statistical tables. Data included in this report are Federal academic and nonprofit obligations by type of activity (six types of activity for academic, two for nonprofits), by year, by geographic division and state, by agency, and by individual institution rankings. 2009-03-27T12:03:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf09313/ Federal agencies obligated $25.4 billion to academic institutions for R&D programs in science and engineering in FY 2007. This amount represents a slight current-dollar increase over FY 2006 but a 2.4% decrease in constant 2000 dollars. The Department of Health and Human Services provided 64% of the total, followed by the National Science Foundation (13%) and the Department of Defense (12%). The top 100 academic R&D institutions received 83% of the total obligations. 2009-03-27T12:03:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf09311/ Detailed statistical tables present data on doctorate awards. Some show 1997-2006 doctorates in S&E and broad non-S&E fields by citizenship, sex, race/ethnicity, and country origins of doctorate recipients. Others show 2006 data on states and institutions of doctorate awards and postgraduation plans of doctorate recipients. Data are collected directly from doctorate recipients through the annual Survey of Earned Doctorates. The survey instrument appears at the end of the report. 2009-03-13T12:03:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf09303/ Detailed statistical tables present data on R&D expenditures of higher education institutions and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs). Tables include academic expenditures by type of institution, field, geographic area, source of funds (Federal, state and local, industry, institutional), and expenditures for research equipment. Many tables show trends over time. Data from the Survey of R&D Expenditures at Universities and Colleges: Fiscal Year 2007 are included in this report. 2009-03-11T12:03:00Z http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/ This report continues a series of Congressionally-mandated biennial reports, providing data on the participation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in science and engineering education and employment. The data and analyses presented here can be used to track progress, inform the development of policies to increase participation in science and engineering, and evaluate the effectiveness of such policies. 2009-02-13T12:02:00Z
