Societal Dimensions of Engineering, Science and Technology Program
Data Resources

NSF's Division of Science Resources Studies (SRS) provides access to a wealth of statistics on science and technology that can be a valuable resource for persons preparing proposals to the Societal Dimensions of Engineering, Science and Technology program, as well as other programs related to science and technology policy. Tables and text from SRS reports and surveys can be downloaded, often in convenient spreadsheet formats, to your own computer to be manipulated later. The web site's address is

http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/pubdata.htm.

SRS designs, supports, and directs about 14 periodic surveys as well as a variety of other data collections and research projects. Each year SRS produces about 30 publications, which take the form of statistical compilations, overviews, reports on focused topics, and special reports.  

Statistical reports provide basic data on the education of scientists and engineers, the science and engineering work force, research and development funding and performance, and the R&D infrastructure. The materials include comprehensive and special analyses on science and engineering, ranging from the biannual Science and Engineering Indicators report from the National Science Board to the President, to the special report on Assessing Fundamental Science.
