National Research Council Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs 2006 Institutional Questionnaire Every ten or so years, the National Research Council conducts a study of national importance regarding the quality and characteristics of doctoral programs in the United States. This comparative assessment is designed to assist prospective doctoral students with selecting programs that best fit their interests and to permit programs to benchmark themselves against similar programs. The 2006 Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs collects data about the doctoral programs in over 60 areas of study in American universities. This Institutional Questionnaire is designed to collect data about institution-wide policies and practices. A. Health Benefits and Services A1. Is university-supported health care insurance part of the financial support provided to enrolled doctoral students? Yes No If no, skip to question A3 A2. Does the university-supported health insurance for doctoral students cover mental health services? Yes No NOTE: For questions that follow about postdoctoral scholars, please use this definition of a postdoctoral scholar developed by the Association of American Universities: • The appointee was recently awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.) in an appropriate field; and • the appointment is temporary; and • the appointment involves substantially full-time research or scholarship; and • the appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic and/or research career; and • the appointment is not part of a clinical training program; and • the appointee works under the supervision of a senior scholar or a department in a university or similar research institution (e.g., national laboratory, NIH, etc.); and • the appointee has the freedom, and is expected, to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of the appointment. (See: http://www.aau.edu/reports/PostDocRpt.html. Accessed 6/27/06) A3. Is university-supported health care insurance part of the financial support provided to postdoctoral scholars?

From July 1st to June 30th Other, please specify:_______________________________ F. Doctoral Student Representation in 5 Selected Fields This section collects outcomes by race/ethnicity on the full-time doctoral students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents in each of five broad fields 1) Life Sciences, 2) Physical Sciences and Mathematics, 3) Engineering, 4) Social and Behavioral Sciences, and 5) Arts and Humanities. • If the numbers in these tables are too small to release for reasons of confidentiality, please provide the raw data to the NRC and we will aggregate over cohorts so that the size of any cell is always greater than or equal to 5. • For purposes of this question only, "Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering" in the taxonomy have been disaggregated into two separate broad fields: "Physical Sciences and Mathematics" and "Engineering." • Do not include Emerging Fields unless they are also included as part of a program in an established field within the taxonomy • Include doctoral students enrolled in your doctoral programs, whether or not they have been admitted to candidacy. • Do not include doctoral students who have declared that they only intend to earn a master's degree. • Doctoral students who "left the program" are those who are no longer enrolled at this time. • Doctoral students who "stopped out" (left but later enrolled again) should not be counted as students who left if they are currently enrolled or completed the doctoral degree. 57 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS

National Research Council 2006 Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs Program Questionnaire Every ten or so years, the National Research Council conducts a study of national importance regarding the quality and characteristics of doctoral programs in the United States. This comparative assessment is designed to assist prospective doctoral students with selecting programs that best fit their interests and to permit programs to benchmark themselves against similar programs. The 2006 Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs collects data about the doctoral programs in over 60 areas of study in American universities. The information from your responses to this questionnaire will be compiled by Mathematica Policy Research and provided to the National Research Council for their analyses. The National Research Council staff who analyze the data will sign non-disclosure confidentiality agreements to protect the identity of individuals participating in this survey. Any information, including race/ethnicity and gender, that is not currently available to the public, will be treated as confidential and only reported in aggregated form so that it cannot be used to discern the identity of any survey participant in any report or presentation concerning the survey or in the public use file that will be made available to the public at the conclusion of this study. 85 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS

D. Scholarly Activity The questions in this section will help us match productivity data such as publications, citations, research grants and other types of scholarly productivity with the faculty who participate in the graduate program There will be two primary sources of data. The first will be the data provided by the journals monitored by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). The list can be found at: http://scientific.thomson.com/mjl/. The second will be your answers to the questions below. In counting publications, in most cases, the NRC will limit itself to books, monographs, and articles and reviews in refereed journals. It is especially important that you list books, monographs, and articles in edited volumes and in specialist journals not covered by ISI so that we have a full picture of your scholarly productivity.

Rationale for Questions on the Faculty Questionnaire A. Program Identification—The questions in this section are designed to confirm data provided by the program about faculty who participate in doctoral education in the program and to determine if the faculty member meets the criteria that they have served on doctoral committees or are recent hires. These data will also be used to apportion faculty effort, for those who are associated with more than one program. A1. This question will be useful in knowing that productivity information on publications, awards, and honors can be linked to the current institution. A2. The faculty spreadsheets/program questionnaire asked for a list of faculty members that chaired or served on a doctoral committee in a field. The intent of this question is to determine if a faculty member actually served on a committee in the past five years and to determine the number of such committees. It is important to ask for committee service, since the number of committees will determine the faculty member’s effort in the programs. This can be used to proportion the productivity measures related to publications, grants and awards. All of an institution’s programs that are participating in the assessment will be on a drop down list. The faculty members will use this list to identify the programs with which he or she is involved and the number of committees. A3. This question is asked because service of a doctoral admissions or curriculum committee is an alternate criterion for Core Program Faculty if they have no dissertation committee service in that program. A4. The answer to this question will permit a description of research specializations of faculty. A5. These questions will identify the primary or core faculty in a program and the subfields that are represented by the faculty members. It will allow individuals when using the data on programs to compare programs with like characteristics and will help prospective students match their interests to that of a program. A6. This information will be compared with the information in B4 to see if the work activity of the faculty member has changed from their previous institution. B. Prior Experience—This section asks for prior employment and primary and secondary employment activity in that employment. Such information is useful in describing the research- intensity of faculty and their previous research experience. B1.- B3. These questions ask for information about prior employment and will provide information about the origins of the program faculty. It will also be useful in the matching the faculty to productivity data, if they are recent hires at their current institution. B4. This question will provide information on whether the work activity of the faculty member has changed. C. Educational Background—This section asks about degrees, institutions, Ph.D. field as well as year Ph.D. conferred. Further, the questions ask about post doctoral appointment experience. C1. While many of the faculty members will have the Ph.D. as their highest degree, it will be 138 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS 

important to know if the faculty have received other degrees. These data are not available from other data sources and are especially important in describing the background of faculty in the biomedical sciences. C2. The doctoral origins of the faculty for a program will provide data on the career paths of graduates from different institutions and provide a count of the number of foreign degree holders on faculties at U.S. doctoral institutions. It provides information about the segmentation of the academic labor market and is an indirect outcomes measure for those doctorate-awarding origins of those who are academically employed. C3. Field of Ph.D. or equivalent will provide information on whether the faculty member has changed research fields. It may also give a measure of interdisciplinarity. C4. Year of Ph.D. or equivalent will allow for cohort analyses and in conjunction with the next question will provide information about the postdoctoral experience. C5.- C7. There is very little known about the postdoctoral experience and these questions will provide information on the career paths of individuals who have held postdocs in terms of the number and duration and how that has changed over time for doctoral faculty. D. Scholarly Activity—The questions in this section of the questionnaire are designed to gather information that will be helpful in matching the faculty in a program to data from national databases of publications, citations and grants. D1. The request for the names faculty use on their publications will help in the matching process by eliminating false matches and by finding publications written before a name change, for example the name used before marriage. D2. In addition to using author names in the matching process, the ZIP Code for the location of the author will be used, since it is the only uniquely identifiable numeric piece of information that appears on a publication. Institutional names may be available, but they vary in form and it will be difficult to identify all forms that pertain to a particular institution. Also, if a faculty member moves from one institution to another, the ZIP Code of the prior institution will help in matching the earlier publications to the faculty member. D3. There is no good data source for matching the faculty in a program to the books they have authored. Sources, such as the Library of Congress and Books in Print, do not carry geographic information about the author and matching on name alone will provide multiple matches. The titles of the books can then be used to eliminate false matches. D4. ISI does not cover all possible journals. In particular, its coverage of highly specialized journals in the humanities may be very limited. A listing of these publications will be useful in obtaining more complete data on faculty productivity. D5. This question is intended to obtain a list of non-journal and non-print scholarly contributions. D6. This information will be an indicator of professional involvement and interdisciplinary activity. 139 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS 

E. Research Activity—This section asks about their current and recent research/scholarly activities. E1. This question is important to the calculation of the percentage of faculty supported by outside grants. E2. Since grant data from the federal agencies and other organizations will not be matched to program faculty, the information from this question will assist in providing a measure of research productivity E3. These questions will provide added information about grant and contract support related to the support of graduate students. E4. Patents, disclosures, and licenses in some fields are very important measures of research productivity, and there is no good source for this information at the program level. E5- E6. This question will provide additional information on trends in research and mobility across fields over a career. F. Doctoral Students—Information from this question will be used to identify the career outcomes of doctoral students that completed the program. Knowing the career paths for graduates of the program is important since it helps in characterizing program goals. It will assist students who use the data from the study to select a degree program that meets their own career objectives. G. Program Quality—This section collects data pertinent to the design and calculation of program ratings. G1.-G3. These questions ask for those characteristics of doctoral programs that the faculty member considers important. G4. This question will provide information about characteristics that faculty think are valuable in determining program quality. The varying weights that faculty put on these items will be used to calculate weights to be applied to observed data for the explicit ratings of programs. H. Demographic Information—This section asks for basic demographic information about the faculty. This information is not available from any other source, except a population sample from the National Survey of Postsecondary Faculty, which is not available at the program level. I. The C.V. for the faculty is requested to verify publication and career path data. 140 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS 

Welcome to the National Research Council’s 2006 Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs Admitted-to-Candidacy Doctoral Student Questionnaire This questionnaire is part of the National Research Council’s 2006 Assessment of Research Doctoral Programs. The National Research Council (NRC) is the operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences, an institution that conducts studies on issues relevant to questions of importance to educational, scientific and technological policy. Its reports are highly respected and have important impact on national and institutional policymakers. This is the first NRC assessment of doctoral programs in over ten years. The study is an effort to gather data about doctoral programs nationwide and provide data that will be helpful to students, faculty, administrators and those who make educational policy. For the first time, the assessment is including a survey of doctoral students. By completing this questionnaire, you provide information that will: (1) bring a student perspective to the study; (2) permit a statistical description of the advanced doctoral students in your field, and (3) help the NRC identify the multiple dimensions of successful graduate programs. Further information about the assessment may be found at www7.nationalacademies.org/resdoc/ index.html. This site also has a list of Frequently Asked Questions and contains an Email link for submitting questions you might have about the study or the questionnaire. As a graduate student, this is an important opportunity for you to be heard on issues related to graduate education, both in your program and in general. If you and your fellow students respond at a high rate, the results will provide important information about and to your program that will help facilitate change in graduate education at the program level. Your responses to this online questionnaire will be entered directly into our database and treated as completely confidential by the NRC. Your individual answers will not be shared with faculty or administrators of your doctoral program. Any data, including race/ethnicity and gender, that is not currently available to the public will only be used in aggregated form that cannot be used to discern the identity of any survey participant in any report or presentation concerning the survey or in the public use file that will be made available to the public at the conclusion of this study. The link between your name and the data you provide will be removed prior to the publication of the public use file. In the case of questions with an open-ended response, comments will be reported only in an anonymous form that does not disclose the identity of the respondent. Your participation is voluntary.

Admitted to Candidacy Student Questionnaire Question Rationale General Rationale for Questionnaire The data collected from the student questionnaire will provide important information for prospective students seeking to compare programs within a field; academic administrators seeking to examine program quality within a field, within an institution, or across institutions; and education policy researchers seeking to explore changes or potential changes in doctoral education and their implications. Since this is the first time a student questionnaire has been administered as part of the Assessment of Doctoral Programs, its administration will be limited to five fields: English, economics, chemical engineering, physics, and neuroscience/neurobiology. Part A. Education The questions in this section are designed to collect information on your area of research, your educational progress and financial support. Time to Degree: Questions 1-3 obtain data on when you enrolled, what your research specialty is, when you were admitted to candidacy and when you expect to complete. In combination with completion data provided by programs, these data will provide a picture of how students progress through their programs. Post-Baccalaureate Credentials: Questions 4-8 obtain data on the master’s and other degrees and certificates you may have obtained before or en route to the doctorate. This information provides a fuller picture of the post-baccalaureate credentials that students in a given program obtain in order to matriculate into a program or to prepare themselves for their career. Research Opportunity: Questions 9-10 obtain data on the number of research publications you may have written and presentations given. These data provide an indication of the research experiences that students obtain in a program and offer an indicator of the extent to which students are encouraged to develop their own research interests and skills Financial Support: Questions 11-13 obtain information on the level and type of financial support that students in a program have. This information, in combination with other data on the program and institutional questionnaires, will provide valuable information on financial support. 156 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS 

Part B: Postgraduation Plans The questions in this section are designed to collect information on the career plans and goals of doctoral students and whether and how they have changed over time. Career Goals: Questions 1-2 obtain data on career goals both when the respondents entered the program and now. Similarly, questions 4-5 obtain data on the type of employer the respondents expected to work for when they entered their program and now. These questions will provide a picture of the kinds of career goals students in different programs have and how they change over time. Faculty Support for Career Goals: Question 3 is designed to obtain information on how supportive faculty are of students who seek a variety of career aspirations, particularly those outside of academia. Part C: Program Characteristics This section obtains data on program characteristics and the respondent’s perception of program quality. Career Skills: Numerous reports, beginning with the COSEPUP’s Reshaping the Graduate Education of Scientists and Engineers (1995), have advocated that graduate students learn a variety of career skills in addition to the substance of their discipline. Question 1 will collect data on the opportunity to acquire written and oral communication skills, proposal writing, teamwork, independent research, project management, ethics, pedagogy, and others. Question 2 focuses more specifically on opportunities to acquire teaching skills and experience. Academic Progress: Questions 3-8 and 14 collect data on how students acquire information about the expectations of their program for academic progress and the kinds and quality of feedback on their progress that they receive. Mentoring and Career Counseling: The availability of a mentor has been identified as an important key to success in graduate education. Question 9 asks whether respondents have a faculty member they consider a mentor. The availability of career advice—particularly advice that covers the range of potential employment sectors is important potentially for both student retention and career preparation. Questions 10-13 obtain data on the availability and source of career advice for doctoral students. Question 15 also asks respondents about the quality of the relationships they have with their advisors. Social Integration: Barbara Lovitts’ book, Leaving the Ivy Hall, identified the degree to which a student feels part of a department as a critical factor in determining whether a student completes a doctoral program. Questions C15, C16, C17, C18, C20, C21, and D1 collect data on the degree to which students feel supported by faculty and peers, have opportunities to interact with faculty and students, and the quality of the interaction. 157 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS 

Program Quality: Questions 19-24 provide respondents with an opportunity to provide their perceptions of program quality (curriculum, research experience, faculty teaching ability, dissertation supervision, and intellectual environment). Part D: Resources This section collects data on respondent perceptions of the adequacy of the resources and benefits available for doctoral students. Education and Research Resources: The availability of adequate resources is important to both the speed and quality of a student’s academic progress. Questions 1-4 collect data on respondents’ perceptions of the resources available (from the institution or program) to support their education and research. They ask for perceptions of the adequacy of computer resources, research, laboratory, or studio facilities, library resources, and on-campus work-space. Social Integration: As noted above, the degree to which a student feels part of a department as a critical factor in determining whether a student completes a doctoral program. Question D5, along with other questions, collects data on opportunities for social interaction. Quality of Life: In addition to financial support and health care benefits, support for doctoral students may also include provision of housing or housing assistance, provision of child care or financial support for child care, and recreational facilities. These pieces of the support package a doctoral student can expect—particularly students with children—may affect the ability of students to matriculate, complete in a timely manner, or complete at all. Questions 6-8 collect data on respondent perceptions of these benefits. Part E: Background Information The information collected in this section of the questionnaire will allow analysts to examine the comparative demographics of programs, and also examine how the answers to questions in Parts A-D of the questionnaire may vary across such dimensions as age, gender, race/ethnicity, citizenship status, family background, marital status, and responsibility for dependents. The participation in doctoral education of students from a variety of backgrounds is important to the academic enterprise, the conduct of research, and society in general, so understanding how doctoral education works for students across groups will provide the opportunity to evaluate success to date and areas where further progress is necessary. 158 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS 

The National Academies National Research Council Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs Survey of Program Quality Thank you for agreeing to participate as a rater in {taxonomy field name} in the Survey of Program Quality, a critical component of the National Research Council’s Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs. This survey asks for your judgment—and the judgment of other faculty members like you—about the quality of a sample of doctoral programs in your field. How your judgments will be used. The judgments of over 200 raters in each field will be used to calculate ratings of perceived quality for a sample of the programs, rather than all the programs in a field. Previous research (Ostriker & Kuh, 20031) has shown us how to use faculty views on the strength of different PhD programs combined with objective data concerning program characteristics to produce ratings of additional programs. These new ratings are based on objectively measured characteristics, such as publications, citations and time to degree, but imitate, to the extent achievable, the judgment criteria of the initially surveyed faculty. Thinking about your perception of a program’s quality. As part of this survey, you will be asked to rate 15 programs on a scale of 1 to 6 (1=a program not sufficient for graduate education, 6=a distinguished program). We urge you to keep two things in mind as you decide on your ratings: • Prior to rating these 15 programs, you will have the opportunity to view a list of all programs in your field. Keep this “universe” of programs in mind as you rate each of the 15 programs relative to this universe, not to each other. • Please reflect on what you consider important in a doctoral program as you decide on your ratings. To assist you, a link below each program’s name goes to an information page that lists several program and faculty characteristics, a list of the program’s faculty and a link to the program’s web site as well, should you want to seek additional information before finalizing your rating. Your efforts will improve doctoral education through benchmarking and better information about programs. The survey is being conducted by Mathematica Policy Research (MPR), an organization experienced in the conduct of confidential surveys. Your responses will be compiled by MPR and provided to the NRC for their analyses. The National Research Council staff who analyze the data will sign non-disclosure confidentiality agreements to protect the identity of individuals participating in the survey. The survey will be conducted using secure web-based survey technology and any information that could be used to identify or link responses to an individual respondent for any survey question will be maintained in storage that is secure. Your identity will be known only to the National Research Council and Mathematica Policy Research who have signed non-disclosure agreements. Only aggregate information from the survey, such as means and distributions of ratings for programs, will be included in publications from the 1 Link to citation url. 159 PREPUBLICATION COPY—UNEDITED PROOFS
