The first phase of the PDP presented options for obtaining a comprehensive postdoc count and a sample frame of all postdocs. The purpose of Phase 2 was to test the feasibility of these options, which include:
- Developing a comprehensive list of institutions that employ postdocs (including non-academic institutions)
- Using this list to collect a comprehensive postdoc count
- Creating a list of temporary-visa holders (with foreign PhDs) working in US postdoc positions
- Creating a list of individuals with PhD-equivalent degrees working in US postdoc positions
- Developing guidelines to build and use a supplemental postdoc sampling frame
