METHODOLOGY
SURVEY
OF ACADEMIC
LIFE SCIENCE
DEPARTM ENTS
SOURCE OF DEPARTMENTAL MAILING LIST
Between July 1967 end November 1968, 2,277 identifiable departments,
located in universities or health-professional schools received the question-
naire entitled "Survey of the Life Sciences" (Exhibit B-19. Of these, 1,340
responded and 1,256 met the criteria for inclusion. Irrespective of whether
the department had a doctoral program, it was included in the survey if its
parent institution had granted one or more doctorates in any life science
area.
Selection of departments was based on their titles as obtained from three
sources:
The American Institute of Biological Sciences: listing of biology de-
partments.
Office of Scientific Personnel, National Research Council.

clinical and clinical departments of the 87 functioning U.S. medical schools.
POPULATION SELECTION
Definition of a Department
Major divisions within clinical departments, or divisions of clinical depart-
ments in teaching hospitals, were not considered separately. Information
pertaining to such divisions was requested from the chairmen of their
parent departments. Similarly, agricultural field stations were not surveyed
as separate departments. A summary of the departments surveyed is shown
in Table B-1. By definition, a functioning department reported one or more
full-time faculty members. Interdepartmental groups were rejected as both
their faculty and their students were members of other departments.
Exclusion Criteria
To minimize overlap with the Academy's behavioral and social sciences
survey,: responses from 35 psychiatry departments and 5 psychiatry and
neurology departments were excluded. A total of 84 departmental returns
were excluded for the various reasons shown in Table B-2. Valid responses
were received from 1,256 departments.
DATA ANALYSIS
Two parallel series of correlations were carried out on the resultant list of
valid responses. In the first series departments were grouped by their school

affiliation, that is, medical schools, schools of arts and sciences, and so on.
Where multiple schools were indicated, the single school of "highest prece-
dence" was chosen. For all departments where the graduate school was one
of two schools listed, the other type of school was given precedence, hence
the number of graduate schools as represented in this survey appears low.
If both the school of agriculture and the school of arts and sciences were
checked, precedence was determined on an ad hoc basis in light of knowl-
edge of the particular departments involved. Table B-3 gives precedence
used.
Because of its large size, the Division of Biological Sciences, Cornell
University, Ithaca, New York, deserves mention. A single questionnaire
covering the activity of all seven of the major sections of this division was
submitted. This aggregate return was listed as a private school of arts and

For final correlations, the following school types were analyzed to-
gether: arts and sciences, graduate studies, and engineering. A second
category consisted of agriculture and forestry schools. The returns from
schools of dentistry, pharmacy, public health, and veterinary medicine were
listed under the title "Other Health-Professional Schools."

The second series grouped departments by discipline using departmental
titles reported by their chairmen. Table B-4 shows the number of depart-
ments in each category. Table B-5 contains a complete listing of depart-
ments and the major category to which each was assigned. (All clinical
medical departments were analyzed as a single group because they shared
many common characteristics and they differed markedly from other life
science departments.)
Definitions and Coding Restrictions
The questionnaire insert, Exhibit B-2, defines the following:
Full-time faculty
Instructor
Continuing research associate
Postdoctoral appointee
Graduate student
Potential Ph.D. candidate
Research space (Detailed instructions as to what constitutes research
space as reported in Questions 20 and 21)
It should be noted that identical definitions for Continuing Senior Research
Associate and Postdoctoral Appointee were employed in this questionnaire
and the individual questionnaire. Where possible, all definitions were
the same as those used in the National Research Council study on post-
doctoral education.*
SPECIAL DEFINITIONS
For convenience and conciseness, two special departmental categories
are utilized ire certain analyses: "Performer Departments" and "Promiser
Departments."
Performer department: Any department that reported one or more
potential Ph.D. candidates and that had awarded at least one doctoral
degree in either academic year 1964-1965 or 1966-1967.
Promiser department: Any department reporting at least one Ph.D.
candidate, no degrees awarded during either academic year 1964-1965 or
1966-1967, and the expectation of awarding at least one degree during
academic year 1969-1970.
