The National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health have recognized the efforts of Ulrica Edwards, a planning and research analyst in the Office of Institutional Planning, Assessment and Effectiveness, as Grambling State University’s coordinator for the 2014 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering.

“Without the accurate and timely work of our GSS coordinators at approximately 700 postsecondary institutions nationwide, we would not be able to compile our annual statistics on graduate enrollment, post-docs and nonfaculty researchers in science, engineering and health fields. We appreciate the extra efforts of your staff outside of their workload,” said John Gawalt, director of the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics.

The survey is an annual census of all U.S. academic institutions granting research-based master’s degrees or doctorates in science, engineering and selected health fields. The results are used to assess shifts in graduate enrollment and postdoctoral appointments and trends in financial support.
