NOTE: In this table a recipient counts once in each source category from which he or she received support. Since students indicate multiple sources of support, the vertical percentages sum to more than 100 percent. (Data on the “primary” source of support for doctorate recipients are presented in the body of the report.) Field groupings may differ from those in reports published by federal sponsors of the Survey of Earned Doctorates. See inside the back cover for a description of fields as reported in this table. Refer also to the explanatory note about this table in front of Appendix A. *V denotes vertical percentage; H denotes horizontal percentage. †Because federal support obtained through the university cannot always be determined, no distinction is made between federal and university research assistants in this table. Both types of support are grouped under “University Research Assistant.” Federal loans are counted in the categories for loans. ‡The 2,410 Ph.D.s who did not report sources of support are omitted from this total. Percentages are based only on known responses. SOURCE: National Research Council, Survey of Earned Doctorates.
