ADDITIONS TO QUESTIONS
A9. (continued from page 3)
This is an important accomplishment for you. Your
accomplishment is also significant for both this
nation and others, as the new knowledge generated
by research doctorates enhances the quality of life
in this country and throughout the world. Because
of the importance of persons earning research
doctorates, several Federal agencies—listed on the
cover—sponsor this Survey of Earned Doctorates.
Third Additional Degree Type
The basic purpose of this survey is to gather
objective data about doctoral graduates. These data
are important in improving graduate education both
at your home institution and beyond. Often,
decisions made by governmental and private
agencies to develop new programs, or to support
present ones, are based in part on the data
developed from this survey. If you have any
comments about the survey, please provide them in

The basic purpose of this survey is to gather objective
data about doctoral graduates. These data are
important in improving graduate education both at
your home institution and beyond. Often, decisions
made by governmental and private agencies to
develop new programs, or to support present ones, are
based in part on the data developed from this survey.
If you have any comments about the survey, please
