a Totals for "all institutions" include data imputed for nonresponding institutions; these institutions are not listed separately.
NOTES: Tied institutions are ranked alphabetically. In 2010, the postdoc section of the survey was expanded, and significant effort was made to ensure that appropriate
personnel were providing postdoc data (see appendix A for more information). Thus, for increases in 2010 or 2011 over 2009 and prior-year data, it is unclear how much is from
growth in postdoctoral appointment and how much is from improved data collection. More information on changes in postdoc data will be available in forthcoming InfoBrief at
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/gradpostdoc/. For graduate students, “field” refers to the field of the reporting unit in which the student is enrolled. For postdocs, “field” refers to the
field of the unit that reports postdocs to the GSS.
