The three surveys are coordinated to provide complete coverage of the science and engineering workforce every 2-3 years.

For more than 25 years, NSF obtained a sample frame for identifying the target population for the NSCG from the list of respondents to the decennial census long form who indicated that they had earned a bachelor’s or higher degree. The probability that an individual was sampled from this list was dependent on both demographic and employment characteristics. The source for the sample frame will no longer be available because the census long form is being replaced as of the 2010 census with the continuous collection of detailed demographic and other information in the new American Community Survey (ACS).
