National Science Foundation Strategic Framework for Investments in Graduate Education,FY 2016-FY 2020.

摘要

The development of this strategic framework for investments in graduate education included input from several stakeholder communities. In July 2014, the Foundation convened the Graduate Education Strategic Planning Committee to review NSF investments in graduate education and training. The Committee included representatives from every NSF Directorate as well as liaisons with the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics and the NSF Office of Budget, Finance, and Award Management. Over the course of a year, the Committee surveyed the state of graduate education in the United States, analyzed the portfolio of NSF programs supporting graduate education, and developed a report to guide NSF’s future investment in graduate education and training.
