Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
Grants for Research on the U.S. Science and Engineering Workforce
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is pleased to announce the second round of its small grants program to support creative research on the U.S. workforce and labor markets in science and engineering ("S&E"). The due date for submissions will be November 17, 2008.
In the second round of this research competition, the Foundation wishes especially to encourage proposals that focus on the complex nexus between the U.S. science and engineering workforce and international migration.

Career Patterns of Foreign Born Scientists and Engineers
Trained and or Working in the U.S.
Workshop Report
By Richard Freeman, Paula Stephan and John Trumpbour,
January 2008
The internationalization of science and engineering has transformed many debates concerning "brain drain" and brought increasing attention to concepts of global "brain circulation." Yet, much of this discussion is often based on insufficient evidence about the actual flows of scientific workers among nations or the composition of the workforce as it relates to origin, both in terms of birth and training. With the support of a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to Georgia State University, a workshop was held November 7, 2007 at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Cambridge, MA with the purpose of exploring various approaches for studying career patterns of foreign-born scientists and engineers trained and or working in the U.S. The co-organizers of the workshop were Richard Freeman, Paula Stephan and John Trumpbour.

The Future of the Biomedical Sciences
Paula Stephan, SEWP network
member and economist at Georgia State University, spoke about the future
of the biomedical sciences in her talk: "Early Careers for Biomedical
Scientists: Doubling (and Troubling) Outcomes" at Harvard University
on Feb. 27th, 2007. The message: employment opportunities are getting
worse for future biologists a trend that has to be reversed for the future
of the biomedical sciences in the US.

***NEW EDITION*** Does Science Promote Women?
Evidence from Academia 1973-2001
By Donna K. Ginther and Shulamit Kahn
Many studies have shown that women are under-represented in tenured ranks in the sciences.
We evaluate whether gender differences in the likelihood of obtaining a tenure track job,
promotion to tenure, and promotion to full professor explain these facts using the 1973-2001
Survey of Doctorate Recipients.

America's Pressing Challenge
Science and Engineering Indicators has reported for almost a decade on the
rapid growth in scientific and engineering occupations in the United
States. The 2006 edition now reports that by 2012, U.S. occupations in science and engineering
fields are expected to grow by 1.25 million. That's 26 percent more than exist
today, while a 15 percent increase is expected in all other jobs.
