Research Funding for U.S. Doctorate Recipients at Research-Intensive Institutions

New research data suggest that 51 % of science and engineering ( S&E ) doctorate recipients who graduated from U.S. research-intensive institutions between academic years 2014 and 2017 received research funding during their graduate studies. Among those S&E doctorate recipients that linked to the administrative records of research funding, 42 % received research funding solely from federal funders. Data are from a new resource, SED-UMETRICS linked data. The Survey of Earned Doctorates ( SED ) is an annual census of research doctorate recipients conducted by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation. The SED was linked to UMETRICS ( Measuring the Impacts of Research on Innovation, Competitiveness, and Science ) data developed from administrative records from member universities of the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science.
