This report is concerned with graduate science and engineering education, particularly dealing with enrollment and with sources of funding. Drawn from the survey of Graduate Science Student Support, analyses reveal distributions of full-time graduate students by source of major support and changing patterns in support and utilization of graduate…

This report is the third in a series of annual studies directed to institutions granting Ph.D. degrees in science in the United States and to their medical school components. Both Ph.D. and masters students are included in the 354-institution survey. Information gathered reveals that fall 1974 graduate science enrollment in institutions of higher…

This document presents the proceedings and addresses of the 25th annual conference of the Association of Graduate Schools in the Association of American Universities. Presentations cover: doctorates in the seventies, postdoctorates and employment, graduate student support, and methodology toward assessing quality in Ph.D. programs. Reports of the…

An issue often arising in discussions about government support for graduate education in science and engineering is student indebtedness. An earlier issue brief entitled "What is the Debt Burden of New Science and Engineering Ph.D.'s?" (NSF-98-318) provided information about the debt owed by new doctorate recipients at the time of Ph.D. conferral…

Information about 18 organizations that provide funding for individual, group, or organizational research efforts is presented. The organizations include foundations, corporations, and government and nonprofit agencies. Descriptions are provided for 13 organizations that provide educational grants and 5 organizations that provide miscellaneous…

This guide provides descriptions of over 1,400 fellowships, scholarships, research and travel grants, exchange programs, internships, training programs, awards, and prizes available for graduate and postdoctoral study and research. An introductory section provides general information on the grant-seeking process, proposal writing, and the use of…

The 108 tables printed in this volume provide data on the support of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in all areas of science and engineering for the year 1973. The data were collected from 339 institutions offering 5,683 doctoral programs in science and 876 masters-only programs. Data are organized to show the sources of support for…

The University of Maryland at Baltimore's 12-month graduate program in general dentistry focuses on comprehensive care and treatment planning in a simulated group practice environment. To achieve its goal of self-support, the program solicits training grants from international corporations, generates income from clinical facilities, encourages…

Summary data from the annual questionnaire sent to chairpersons of physiology departments are provided on a sample questionnaire. Data of faculty salaries (presented in 12 bar graphs) and departmental budgets/space (presented in table format) are also provided. (JN)

The history and finance of the University of Texas (San Antonio) postdoctoral general practice program in dentistry, including the general practice residency and an advanced education in general dentistry program, is chronicled. Financial tactics include developing diversified funding avenues that have minimal impact on program objectives;…

The University of North Carolina's postdoctoral advanced education in general dentistry program relies heavily on clinic productivity and effective management to meet the challenges of a diminishing state budget appropriation and lack of financial flexibility in the state university system. External funding is also sought actively but has not yet…

The 11th Annual Survey of Graduate Science and Engineering Students and Postdoctorates requested data from all institutions of higher education in the United States in which there was at least one science or engineering program leading to a master's or doctoral degree, including medical schools and other components granting first-professional…

The 12th Annual Survey of Graduate Science and Engineering Students and Postdoctorates requested data from all institutions of higher education in the United States in which there was at least one science or engineering program leading to a master's or doctoral degree, including medical schools and other components granting first-professional…

While international students contribute to the diversity and add to the cultural and intellectual aspects of the university's environment, they also provide challenges for administrators, faculty, and students. This booklet provides guidance to graduate deans, faculty, and administrators who work with international graduate students. Academic,…

Planning major research programs requires accurate information about funding and personnel. Since reliable baseline data for plant biology have not been available, a study was conducted to provide such data by measuring the total plant biology effort at major doctorate-granting institutions with graduate programs in botany during fall 1982.…
