Dear Dr. <>:
Congratulations on completing your doctorate!
In light of this accomplishment, I am writing to invite you to participate in a brief survey conducted by the National
Science Foundation and five other federal agencies. The survey results are critical to our understanding of the
research areas of doctorate recipients and their postgraduation employment plans. The data from this survey are
used by policy-makers in government and universities when making decisions about funding graduate education,
developing new programs, and supporting existing ones.
We would greatly appreciate your participation in the Survey of Earned Doctorates. To access the questionnaire on
our secure Web server, please go online to https://websurvey.norc.org/sed2016. Your PIN and password are
below.

If it is inconvenient for you to complete the survey on the Web, please contact us at 1-800-248-8649 or send an
email to sed@norc.org to request a paper version. Please be assured that all information you provide will be kept
confidential, and any information publicly released will be in a form that does not personally identify you.
The Survey of Earned Doctorates is an annual census of all research doctorate recipients in the United States, which
has been conducted since 1958. The data are collected for the National Science Foundation by NORC at the
University of Chicago.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact us using the 1-800 number or email address listed above.
Summary reports of the data collected by earlier surveys are available at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/doctorates.
Congratulations again on completing your degree, and best wishes for the future.
