Record Group 307: Records of the National Science Foundation |
| Function and Use: |
The agency initially created these registers to be a ready source to identify specialized personnel during a national emergency. As the value of the data for statistical purposes was recognized, the main purpose of maintaining the registers shifted to providing a source of statistical information on scientific and engineering personnel. The National Register was a major source of data for studies related to the development of national science policy, and provided information to Congress, agencies of the executive branch, State governments, private industry, and institutions of higher education. |
| Scope & Content Note: |
This series contains data compiled from social and natural scientists who responded to survey questionnaires sent to them by professional organizations. Respondents to the questionnaires were academic and research professionals in the fields of anthropology, biology, chemistry, economics, geology, mathematics, meteorology, physics, political science, psychology, and sociology, among others. The content differs somewhat from year to year, but each record includes name, specific institution, sex, age, educational background, employment specialty, job function, income, language ability, citizenship, and professional organization memberships. Other information includes place of birth (after 1966), Social Security number (after 1964), employment status (after 1958), government sponsorship (after 1962), Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (after 1958), and city and state (after 1964). In some of the years, some professional organizations introduced unique questions in addition to those asked of all respondents. Professional organizations that collaborated included the American Institute of Biological Sciences; the American Chemical Society; the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology; the American Geological Institute; the American Mathematical Society; the American Institute of Physics; the American Psychological Association; and the American Meteorological Society. |
