Survey of Postdoctorates at Federally Funded Research and Development Centers
- National Science Foundation (NSF), Washington, DC (United States); National Science Foundation
Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are organizations that perform research and development and are exclusively or substantially financed by the federal government and are supported by the federal government either to meet a particular R&D objective or, in some instances, to provide major facilities at universities for research and associated training purposes. Many FFRDCs employ postdoctoral researchers (postdocs). The 2009 FFRDC survey collected the total number of postdocs employed by FFRDCs in the United States--categorized by source of support, citizenship, sex, and field of research--as of October 1, 2009.
