The results of investigating the career transitions of scientists and engineers that are likely to affect their professional development are presented in this report. The focus is primarily on career transitions involving termination resulting from position abolishments. The years covered are 1969 through 1972. Individuals included in the study were respondents to the 1972 Postcensal Survey of Scientists and Engineers sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
