Carlson European Science Foundation/ International Social Science Council September 14, 2010 National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics

1 Division of Science Resources Statistics National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics The Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) fulfills the legislative mandate of the National Science Foundation Act 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...

2 Longstanding Government Support for the Social Sciences National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics “My emphasis has been on the physical and biological sciences… But the social sciences and related fields are at least as important in the present stage of human affairs. The social sciences offer us better ways of organizing our lives… [and] will enable us to escape from those habits and thoughts which have resulted in so much strife and tragedy.” President Harry S. Truman Address to the AAAS – 1948

3 SRS Surveys Including SSH R&D Data (1) National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics No national estimates of SSH R&D Expenditures No national R&D estimates for any individual field Survey of Federal Government agencies’ R&D support – collects data on government research support (total and to universities only) by discipline (including for social sciences and psychology; not for humanities) Very little social science sub-discipline detail – most of the social science total is reported as social sciences, not elsewhere classified (nec) No Federal Government SSH R&D performance data collected

4 SRS Surveys Including SSH R&D Data (2) National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics New Business R&D and Innovation Survey added question on social sciences R&D performance (“the application of scientific methods to the study of human aspects of the world, including such disciplines as economics and psychology”) Intended to exclude market research expenditures Survey of R&D Expenditures at Universities and Colleges (redesigned Higher Education Survey Support) – historically collects social science and psychology R&D performance, by funding source Expanded to collect R&D data on humanities and other non- S&E fields, such as education, law and business FY 2010 collection will be fielded to all academic institutions – previously collected R&D only from institutions that performed science and engineering R&D

U.S. R&D Performance National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics Federal funding 44.7% Nonfederal funding 55.3% University SSH R&D $5.2 billion University R&D $53.4 billion Total U.S. R&D $400 billion Industry 72.3% Life Sciences (including Ag, Med, Bio) 57.6% Universities 13.4% Federal 10.4% Nonprofit 3.9% Social Sciences & Psychology 5.3% Sciences, nec 1.9% Humanities, Education, other SSH 4.1% Natural Sciences (excluding Bio) 16.3% Engineering 14.7% Source: NSF/SRS, National Patterns of R&D Resources, adjusted to include university SSH Notes: Data are R&D expenditures as reported by the R&D performers. Because of rounding, details may not sum to totals.

SRS Surveys Including SSH for Education and Workforce Data Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) SESTAT (Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System 3 component surveys) Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR) National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) National Survey of Recent College Graduates (NSRCG) 6 National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics

7 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) Annual census (conducted since 1966) of U.S. academic institutions awarding graduate degrees in science, engineering and health fields GSS data include: – Graduate enrollment: citizenship, race/ethnicity, sex, fields of study, full-time status, first-time enrollments, primary source and mechanism of support – Postdoctoral appointees: citizenship, sex, fields of study, primary source of support by mechanism, professional medical doctorates – Non-faculty doctoral researchers: sex, professional medical doctorates National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics

8 GSS Graduate Enrollment for SSH Total of 631,489 graduate students enrolled in science, engineering and health (SEH) in 579 institutions, fall 2008 Communication –8,444 graduate students enrolled in fall 2008 Family and Consumer Sciences/Human Sciences –3,549 graduate students enrolled in fall 2008 Psychology –58,991 graduate students enrolled in fall 2008 –3 sub-fields (Psychology, except clinical and general, is largest) Social Sciences – 103,384 graduate students enrolled in fall 2008 – 10 sub-fields (Political science is the largest) National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics

12 Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) Annual census (conducted since ) of all individuals receiving research doctorates from accredited U.S. institutions SED data include: – Educational history: degrees, fields of study, financial support, debt, time-to-degree – Post-graduation plans: employment vs. post-doc, employment sector, salary, location, primary/secondary work activity – Background: race/ethnicity, gender, citizenship, marital status, dependents, parents’ education National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics

13 SED Research Doctorate Recipients in SSH Total of 49,562 research doctorate recipients in 21 institutions, 2009 Psychology –3,471 doctorates awarded in 2009 –17 sub-fields (clinical psychology is largest) Social Sciences – 4,365 doctorates awarded in 2009 – 18 sub-fields (economics, political science, and sociology are 3 largest) Humanities – 4,899 doctorates awarded in 2009 – Includes 4 groups of Humanities fields: o Foreign languages & literature (10 sub-fields; French is largest) o History (9 sub-fields; American history is largest) o Letters (10 sub-fields; English literature is largest) o Other humanities (14 sub-fields; philosophy is largest) National Science Foundation Division of Science Resources Statistics
