After completion of the annual data-processing cycle for the NSF Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (Graduate Student Survey), the data collected are stored in files for public use. These files include any corrections to prior-year data that survey respondents may have submitted. "Public-use" files are generated specifically for use by data users outside NSF. As such, these files omit any information that is considered confidential by NSF or an institution. For example, names and addresses of individuals who completed the questionnaires are omitted from the Graduate Student Survey data files.
For more information on the public use data files and for a detailed description of the file format, see the Guide to the Data Files from the National Science Foundation's Annual Surveys of Academic Science and Engineering: Graduate Student Survey Data Files.
You can obtain these public-use data files via the Internet or as an attachment to E-mail.
