Description
|
CPST and thirteen professional
societies were awarded a grant from the Sloan Foundation, the National
Science Foundation and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund to
begin efforts to improve data collection and dissemination
on the employment of recent doctoral graduates in science
and engineering. After conducting an initial needs
assessment, a core set of survey questions was developed for
professional societies in this pilot effort to include in
the surveys they send to graduates about six months after
graduation. Data included employment status, job search
methods, permanence of position, sector of employment, work
activities, salary, relationship between education and
employment, and questions designed to tap underemployment.
The data supplement and complement those collected by
the National Science Foundation.
