Totals for "all institutions" include data imputed for nonresponding institutions; these institutions are not listed separately.
NOTES: Tied institutions are ranked alphabetically. In 2010, postdoc section of survey was expanded, and significant effort was made to ensure that appropriate personnel
were providing postdoc data (see appendix A for more information). Thus it is unclear how much of increase reported in 2010 represents growth in postdoctoral appointments
and how much results from improved data collection. More information on changes in postdoc data will be available in forthcoming InfoBrief at
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/gradpostdoc.
