BOC PIK Xwalk Srvy Earned Doctorates (SED) and Srvy Doctoral Recipients (SDR)

The file provides a crosswalk between the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), Survey of Doctoral Recipients (SDR), and Census Bureau data. This dataset is only the crosswalk. To request the SED, see RDG 790.

The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) began in 1957-58 to collect data continuously on the number and characteristics of individuals receiving research doctoral degrees from all accredited U.S. institutions. Information from this survey becomes part of the Doctorate Records File (DRF). The DRF contains data on all earned doctorates granted by U.S. universities, in all fields from 1920 to the present.
