Abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the ability of colleges and universities to hold in-person classes and conduct vital research. After closures in March 2020, and the transition to largely online studies to complete the academic year, U.S. educational institutions made difficult decisions regarding how to hold classes in the fall 2020 semester. To understand the pandemic's effects on graduate science, engineering, and health (SEH) education, the 2020 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) included a COVID Impact Module. The module included questions about the pandemic's influence on institutional practices related to doctoral funding, time-to-degree completion, and postdoctoral appointees (postdocs) and nonfaculty researchers (NFRs). These questions provide valuable information about the institutional changes related to graduate students, postdocs, and NFRs. This InfoBrief presents data collected in the COVID Impact Module of the National Science Foundation--National Institutes of Health (NSF-NIH) 2020 GSS, fielded at the end of the fall 2020 semester or quarter. The GSS coordinators responded to the module before completing the standard GSS, answering a series of questions about changes in policies and student counts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Key findings relate to graduate (i.e., master's and doctoral) enrollment in SEH programs, doctoral funding and time-to-completion policies, and the employment of postdocs and NFRs. (As Provided). |
