DATA COMMITTEE MEETING

Meeting to be held Saturday, January 7, 2012 Beacon D, Sheraton Hotel (third floor)

Agenda 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

AGENDA

A. Introductions & Minutes 1:00-1:10 pm

The current list of committee members is provided in Attachment A.1. Corrections can be reported to the AMS staff. The minutes of the meeting held on January 9, 2011, in New Orleans, are provided in Attachment A.2. The committee is asked to approve the minutes.

B. Committee Review of 2010 Reports and 2011 Survey Forms 1:10-1:30 pm

Committee members were invited, via a November 30th email, to review the Notices reports from the 2010 Annual Survey and the survey forms used for the 2011 Annual Survey. They were asked to report any feedback – from “small edits to larger issues of content” – ahead of the meeting. As background to this item, Attachment B.1 provides a brief summary of the individual components that make up the Annual Survey.

Committee members may raise issues derived from their review of the reports and forms that they judge warrant consideration by the full committee. Comments on report format and minor edits of the survey forms may be given directly to Maxwell or Rose.

C1. Defining New Annual Survey Groups 1:30-2:30 pm

At its meeting in New Orleans, the Data Committee adopted a scheme for using the department rankings recently released by the National Research Council (NRC) to produce new groupings of the doctoral mathematics departments analogous to those currently used for reporting on the data collected by the Annual Survey. While the scheme was approved in principle, only Group 1, the traditional top-rated departments, was confirmed during the meeting. (See Attachment C1.1 for a detailed review of the scheme and the outcome of the meeting.) The plan was to obtain full committee approval of revised Group 2 and Group 3 doctoral departments following the meeting based on recommendations to be produced by the subcommittee that developed the scheme for Group 1 presented at the meeting. For a variety of reasons, the follow up review of the other potential groups was never undertaken. (See page 2, Attachment C1.1, for further details.) As a result, this issue remains unresolved.

1 of 5

After considerable discussion over the summer, Maxwell and Cleary explored an alternative scheme for defining new groupings of the doctoral mathematics departments using only the data provided through the Annual Survey by the doctoral departments themselves. Attachment C1.2 describes this new scheme and lists the new department groupings that result, along with various comparisons of the new groups with the current groups that suggest the new groups would work well as a way to aggregate the Annual Survey data for reporting purposes.

A committee decision on which new scheme to use for constructing groups at this meeting would enable the incorporation of the groups with Annual Survey reporting on the 2012 survey cycle.

C2. Longitudinal Study of “New Docs” 2:30-2:45 pm

Sue Geller will report on the status of the MAA proposal to conduct a longitudinal study of new doctorates which was submitted in September to the Division of Mathematical Science at NSF. She serves as lead PI on the proposal.

Break 2:45-3:00 pm

C3. Report on the 2010 CBMS Survey 3:00-3:20 pm

Kirkman will update the committee on the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences’ (CBMS) 2010 survey, launched during October and early November of 2010.

C4. Exploring the Two-Body Problem 3:20-3:40 pm

During the committee’s meeting in San Francisco in January 2010 interest was expressed in knowing more about the impact of the two-body problem among new doctorates in mathematics. Following the meeting, a subcommittee was formed to consider drafting up to two questions that could be added to the Employment Experiences of New Doctoral Recipients (EENDR) form to gather information on how widespread this issue was. The subcommittee members are Rick Cleary, Abbe Herzig and Pam Arroway. The plan to develop the questions for implementation with the 2011 version of the EENDR did not come to pass.

Is there still interest in seeing this expansion of the EENDR implemented for the 2012 survey cycle? If so, the subcommittee will be supported by Maxwell and Rose in order to settle on the new questions during the spring of 2012 for implementation with the 2012 survey cycle.

C5. Request for Additional Data Collection 3:40-3:55 pm

As reported at the committee’s meeting in New Orleans, the AMS Committee on the Profession (CoProf) asked the Data Committee to consider gathering a finer breakout of the faculty category “Other Full-time Faculty” which appears on the current Departmental Profile form. CoProf felt that it would be useful to know more

2 of 5

about what sort of faculty appointments are being reported within this designation. (The category of postdoctoral appointments was separated from this category and given its own column on the Departmental Profile survey starting with the 2003 Annual Survey.) CoProf members suggested that there are a growing number of instances in which departments are creating non-tenure-track, full-time positions that can be renewed indefinitely.

As a first step in considering this request, Maxwell proposed doing a short survey of a small number of departments, between 20 to 30, to provide a better sense of how widespread this phenomenon is. In addition, the survey would identify the category names one might use to refine the picture of the faculty currently being reported within the “Other Full-time Faculty”. This step has not yet been carried out.

Is there still significant interest in exploring this issue? If so, an appropriately worded question can simply be added to the upcoming Departmental Profile form to produce initial estimates of the number of position of the specific type mentioned by CoProf.

D1. Adjustments to Data Collection Frequency 3:55-4:20 pm

Maxwell requests reaction from the committee on his plan, presented in Attachment D1.1, to reduce the frequency of collection of certain portions of the data now collected annually on the Departmental Profile survey. This proposal is based on Maxwell’s observation that there are certain categories of departmental data that change little from year-to-year, faculty counts being one example and demographic profiles of graduate students being another. Hence, reducing the frequency of collection of these more stable data would have no impact on the availability of timely information on departments. Furthermore, less frequent collection would reduce the effort required of departments to complete the survey, and it would reduce somewhat the work of AMS survey staff.

This proposal is offered for discussion and possible endorsement by the committee.

D2. Reporting on Subgroupings of the Bachelors Mathematics Departments

4:20-4:45 pm

Over the past few years members of the committee have supported subdividing the roughly 1,000 Bachelors departments that comprise Group B into smaller subgroups and reporting on these subgroups in addition to the traditional reporting on Group B. Attachment D2.1 presents Maxwell’s approach to subdividing Group B using the 2010 Carnegie Commission classification of postsecondary institutions.

Maxwell suggests the formation of a small subcommittee to review preliminary analysis of a test dataset of prior-year Departmental Profile data using the new subgroupings with the goal of expanding the reporting on Group B using the new

3 of 5

subgroups with the 2012 survey cycle. The work of the subcommittee would take place over the period between March and July of 2012.

This proposal is offered for discussion and possible committee endorsement.

E. Information Only Items 4:45-5:00 pm

These items will be discussed only if someone has a comment or question.

E1. Moving the Annual Survey Online

After considerable study and evaluation during 2010 and 2011, a new online survey tool, Snap Survey, was purchased by AMS, and it is now being used to distribute the Recruitment and Hiring survey and the Employment Experiences of New Doctoral Recipients survey (EENDR). Starting in January, it will be used to distribute the Departmental Profile survey. The early results for the Recruitment and Hiring survey are very positive from the point of view of survey staff and from the point of view of department staff asked to complete the survey. Attachment E1.1 presents several screens from the Recruitment and Hiring survey.

E2. Initial Report of 2011 Annual Survey

The Preliminary Report on the 2010-2011 New Doctoral Recipients, previously referred to as “The First Report, Part 1”, is scheduled to appear in the March 2012 issue of Notices of the AMS. A final draft will be posted to the AMS website for you review via the link http://www.ams.org/profession/data/annual-survey/AS-Committee . Via this link you’ll also find posted by mid-January a final draft of the departmental salary survey. The report is scheduled to appear in the April 2012 Notices.

E3. Gender, Race/Ethnicity and Citizenship of 2009-2010 New Doctoral Recipients

These data are summarized by individual group in Attachment E3.1. This same file is also available from the AMS website at http://www.ams.org/profession/data/annual-survey/docsgrtd . E4. Review of Survey Response Rates

Rose prepared a report on the final response rates for each survey for the years 2006 through 2010. The report appears in Attachment E4.1. The 2011 cycle of surveys is taking place later than usual this year, so there are no meaningful response rates to report at this time.

E5. 2010 Department Profile Summary

These data are summarized by individual group in Attachment E5.1.

AMS-ASA-IMS-MAA-SIAM DATA COMMITTEE MEETING

Sunday, January 9, 2011

Bacchus Room, New Orleans Marriott 11:45 am – 4:30 pm

Minutes

Members Present: Pam Arroway, Rick Cleary (Chair), Steve Dunbar, Sue Geller, Ellen Kirkman, Jim Maxwell, Joanna Mitro, Bart Ng, Doug Ravenel, Marie Vitulli, AMS Staff Present: Colleen Rose, Sam Sholes Guests Present: David Morrison (incoming committee member)

A. Introductions & Minutes

The minutes of the meeting held on Saturday, January 16, 2010 in San Francisco, CA were approved, with a correction to Joanna Mitro’s name.

Pam Arroway suggested the draft minutes be distributed sooner after the meeting and the committee asked to approve the minutes at the time of distribution.

B. Committee Review of 2009 Reports and 2010 Survey Forms

Committee members were invited, via a 30 November 2010 email, to review the Notices reports from the 2009 Annual Survey and the survey forms used for the 2010 Annual Survey ahead of the meeting and to report any feedback ahead of the meeting. As background to this item, Attachment C provided a brief summary of the individual components that make up the Annual Survey.

After brief discussion, no issues were raised that led to committee actions.

C1. NRC Assessment of U.S. Doctoral Programs

The final report of the National Research Council’s assessment of doctoral programs in the U.S. was released in late September of 2010. The subcommittee appointed by Committee Chair Phipps — Abbe Herzig, Joanna Mitro, Bart Ng and Marie Vitulli — together with Committee Chair Cleary, used the reported data to illustrate a scheme to produce a Top X mathematics programs that would become the new Group 1, where X would be approximately the same size as the current Group 1. Attachment D described the scheme and showed the resulting Top X departments under several

Attachment A.2

1 of 4

ranking methods and how each list differed from the 48 departments that currently constitute Group 1.

After considerable review of the materials in Attachment D and discussion of various options for finalizing the list of departments that would form the new Group 1, the following motion was approved:

“The new Group 1 shall be the 48 departments that form the intersection of the three sets of Top X departments produced by the three ranking methods presented in Attachment D.”

The motion passed.

It was also agreed that the same scheme used to produce the new Group 1 would be used by the subcommittee to develop a new Group 2 of roughly the same size as the current Group 2. The subcommittee’s proposal for Group 2 should be circulated to the full committee via email following the meeting and a final vote for approval taken during February. Group 3 would then consist of all the doctoral mathematics departments not in the new Groups 1 and 2.

C2. Access to Annual Survey Data

In San Francisco, the committee reviewed the subcommittee’s draft of the policy concerning governing access to Annual Survey data by individuals and organizations outside the AMS staff charged with conducting the survey. The resulting document was presented as Attachment E.

After a brief discussion, the committee approved the policy as presented.

C2. Longitudinal Study of “New Docs”

At the committee’s meeting in San Francisco, Sue Geller reported on preliminary plans within MAA to submit a proposal to NSF to support conduct of a study of the career experiences of new doctoral recipients well pass their initial post-graduation employment. Geller, now designated as the PI on the grant, updated the committee on the current status of this effort. C4. Exploring the Two-Body Problem During the committee’s discussion in San Francisco of the agenda item on the career experiences of new doctoral recipients beyond their first job, interest was expressed in knowing more about the impact of the two-body problem among new doctoral recipients (newdocs) in mathematics. A subcommittee was formed to consider drafting two questions that could be added to the Employment Experiences of New Doctoral Recipients (EENDR) form and to present them at this meeting to gather feedback and hopefully finalize the questions. The report from the subcommittee was postponed with the expectation that it would circulate draft questions to the committee via email during February and

Attachment A.2

March with the goal of finalizing questions in time for the 2011 EENDR survey.

D1. Request for Additional Data Collection

The AMS Committee on the Profession (CoProf) asked the Data Committee to consider gathering a finer breakout of the faculty category “Other Full-time Faculty” that appears on the Departmental Profile form. CoProf felt that it would be useful to know more about what sort of faculty appointments are being reported within this designation. The category of postdoctoral appointments was separated from “Other Full-time Faculty” and given its own column on the Departmental Profile survey starting with the 2003 Annual Survey. Members of CoProf felt that there are a growing number of instances where departments are creating non-tenure-track, full-time positions that can be renewed indefinitely. As a first step in considering this request, Maxwell proposed doing a short survey of a small number of departments to get a better sense of how widespread this phenomenon is, and in addition, to identify the category names one might use to refine the picture of the faculty currently being reported within the “Other Full-time Faculty”. The committee endorsed this plan. D2. New Report on Recruitment and Hiring Maxwell presented a preliminary report on recruitment and hiring by mathematics departments during the 2009-2010 recruitment cycle. This data was scheduled to be collected as part of the Departmental Profile (DP) Survey to be launched in January 2011. Recognizing the keen interest in the academic job market, Maxwell recast this one section of the DP form as a separate, stand-alone, online survey and launched it in September of 2010. Attachment F provided a printed version of the survey used. The final report appeared in the May 2011 issue of Notices.

E. Information Only Items

E1. Review of Initial Employment by Gender

Marie Vitulli and Mary Flahive prepared a report on the Annual Survey’s initial employment data for men and women separately for the past ten years. A preliminary version of this report appeared in the committee’s San Francisco agenda. Their final report appeared in the September 2010 issue of Notices of the AMS, pages 984-986. E2.

Attachment B.1

Reviewing the scheme for defining new groups for Annual Survey Reporting as discussed at the New Orleans meeting of the Data Committee At the time of the Data Committee meeting in New Orleans in January of 2011, we were working with 127 departments that appear in the list of mathematical sciences PhD programs evaluated by the NRC during its recent study. The data released in this study was revised in late April of 2011. As a result of this update, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was moved into the NRC’s list of applied mathematics programs and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette was moved from the applied mathematics programs into the mathematical sciences programs. Pages 4-6 lists the 127 mathematics departments that were discussed in January, plus Lafayette, and it includes their new group designations under the scheme discussed at the January meeting and again after the release of the revised NRC data in April. Each of these PhD programs is housed within the department of mathematics (or mathematical sciences) at the named institution. You can review the revised NRC data for mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics at http://www.ams.org/profession/data/annual-survey/AS-Committee . The NRC-based scheme for defining new groupings (with revised NRC data) The following scheme produces a list of 47 departments that appear in each of three intermediate sets of departments defined below. I’ll refer to these 47 departments as the core list, and they are the candidates for the new top-rated grouping of departments, the new Group 1 using the current nomenclature of the Annual Survey. The three sets are defined as follows. (Page 3 shows the departments that constitute each of the three sets and the intersection.)

Set 1 – Sort the list of programs in ascending order of the R-5 ranking and flag the first 55 departments, plus any ties for the 55th position. Next sort the list in ascending order of the S-5 ranking, flagging the first 55 programs, plus ties. Set 1 consists of the intersection of these two flagged lists, and it contains a total of 49 departments. In addition to the 47 departments that appear in the core list, it also includes the University of Rochester and the University of Kansas. The strength of Set 1 is that it includes departments that ranked in the top 55 in both the R-ranking system and the S-ranking system. In this way we are giving equal weight to both of the two ranking systems used by the NRC in arriving at these 49 departments.

Set 2 – Repeat the steps described above for R-95 and S-95, take the intersection, and call this Set 2. The intersection produces 51 departments, the same 47 that appeared in the core list, plus the University of Oregon, University of Pittsburgh, University of Utah, and University of Virginia.

Set 3 – First compute the average (mid-point) of the R-5 and R-95 rankings for each department, and likewise, the average of the S-5 and S-95 rankings. Once again, sort on each such average ranking and flag the top 55 in each sort, including ties for the 55th spot. Set 3 consists of the intersection of these two lists. This produces a list of 49 departments, the core list plus the University of Pittsburg and the University of Rochester.

The first question before the Data Committee in New Orleans was to decide whether to include in the new Group 1 any of the departments that make it into one or two of the three

Attachment C1.1

1 of 6


sets, but not all three, or to keep it to just the core 47 departments?1 The committee approved a motion to have the new Group 1 be precisely the core group of 47 departments. The committee also agreed that the scheme used to produce the new Group 1 would be applied to the remaining departments to arrive at the new Group 2, though instead of looking at three sets of 55 departments, the sets would be based on picking the top sixty departments under each ranking step. The remaining departments would form a new Group 3, to be joined with the mathematics departments whose Ph.D. program was not evaluated in the NRC study. The result of this process was to be reviewed by the subcommittee and then presented to the full committee for approval by email ballot. Pages 4-6 show the departments in the NRC study that would form Group 1 and Group 2 and the departments that would be combined with those not evaluated by the NRC to form Group 3. Delay in Implementation of Scheme Several developments prevented proceeding as planned. The NRC announced in March that revised data was being prepared for release in April. By then, two members of the subcommittee were no longer on the Data Committee, and three new members had joined the committee. The paper A quantitative criticism of the 2010 NRC assessment of graduate programs in Mathematics by Professor Peter Mucha of the Department of Mathematics at the UNC Chapel Hill argues against the use of the NRC study as a basis for defining new groups, and it is available at http://www.ams.org/profession/data/annual-survey/AS-Committee. Included below is a short communication from the AMS Committee on the Profession to the Data Committee chair Cleary that recommends against revising the current groupings based on the new NRC study. After several discussions, Maxwell and Cleary judged that the various mixed reviews of the NRC study warranted delaying a final decision on new groupings until after another discussion at the committee meeting in Boston.

Dear Professor Cleary, I'm writing you in your capacity as chair of the AMS-ASA-MAA-SIAM Joint Data Committee. The material below, taken from the annual report of the AMS Committee on the Profession (CoProf), should be self-explanatory. • NRC Rankings: In 2010, the National Research Council released its Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs. These assessments are significantly different than the earlier rankings done by the NRC. The AMS asked CoProf to make a recommendation to the Joint Data Committee concerning whether these rankings should be used to create new groupings for the Annual Survey of the Mathematical Sciences. CoProf voted to recommend to the Joint Data Committee that the rankings not be used for the Annual Survey. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes, Bob Daverman Robert J. Daverman, AMS Secretary

1 The core list presented at the Data Committee meeting numbered 48 as it included Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

An Alternative to the NSA Rankings for Defining Survey Groups

We are offering for consideration an alternative scheme for defining groupings of the Ph.D.-granting mathematics departments. A description of the scheme follows.

For each of the 180 math departments that made up Groups 1, 2 and 3 in 2010 and have not already elected to be moved into our applied math grouping going forward, we determined the average annual number of PhD's awarded over the ten annual survey periods 2000-2001 through 2009-2010. We used this average annual number of Ph.D.'s since there are departments that did not respond every year during this ten year span. In the rest of this document when we refer to size of department we are referring to the department’s average annual number of PhD's awarded.

After sorting these departments by their size, we grouped them into decils. We then looked at these decils cross-tabulated by institutional control —public versus private— and by their current Group designation. (See page 2) We felt it might be useful to look separately at the publics and privates for several reasons. First, we suspected that the size of programs at privates run considerably smaller than at the publics, and the data we prepared supports that. Second, salaries are usually significantly different between publics and privates, so having all the privates grouped separately from the publics would make sense for our reporting of this data. Finally, a full separation of the privates and publics would reinforce that these new groupings are different from the old groupings.

Looking at the data we put together, we propose having two groups of private departments and three groups of publics. Math Private Large (MPr_L) and Math Private Small (MPr_S) are the working labels for the private groups. Math Public Large, Math Public Medium, and Math Public Small are the working labels for the publics. The labeling scheme we used is designed to be extendable to new labels for applied math departments (AM), stat departments (ST), and biostat departments (BST).

Group MPr_L would consist of all the private departments that lie in the first five decils. This would be 24 departments total, and it would include all 22 of the current 23 Group 1 Privates, with RPI having elected to move to the applied math grouping(s) when we reform them. This group would pick up one department currently in Group 2 and one in Group 3. This group of the largest private departments account for 80% of the PhD's produced by the privates combined, an annual rate of production of 179 PhD's per year.

There is a natural drop off in rate of production among the privates between the 5th decil and the 6th decil. This supports the notion of taking the remaining 26 privates and making them MPr_S. This group has a combined average annual rate of production of 45 PhD's per year.

The 26 public departments in decils 1 and 2 account for 49% of the average annual production of PhD's among all the public departments, a total of 312 per year. These 26 would constitute Group MPu_L. The next three decils total 40 departments and account for 32% of the average annual production of PhD's among all the publics, a total of 203 per year. These 40 would constitute Group MPu_M. The remaining 64 departments would constitute Group MPu_S, producing 19% of the average annual production of PhD's among all the publics.

The list of departments in each of the proposed new groupings begins on page 3. Starting on page 6 you will find a number of comparisons of the new groupings described above with the current groupings and then with the new NRC-based groupings as discussed at the New Orleans meeting.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AMS-ASA-IMS-MAA-SIAM DATA COMMITTEE

Prepared by Richard Cleary, Chair, AMS-ASA-IMS-MAA-SIAM Data Committee, Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Bentley University, Waltham, MA,

[email protected] December 31, 2011

The Annual Survey Data Committee guides the collection and dissemination of data on matters of concern to the mathematical sciences community. The committee held its annual meeting during the Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans, Louisiana in January 2011. The committee discussed data gathered and published during the previous year and made recommendations on data to be gathered in 2011. Staff at AMS in Providence, under the direction of Ellen Maycock, Associate Executive Director for Meetings and Professional Services, carry out the annual gathering and analysis of data and the writing of the reports jointly with the committee chair. AMS staff members involved in this work during 2011 included James Maxwell, Associate Executive Director for Special Projects, and Colleen Rose, AMS Survey Analyst. Based on data gathered in questionnaires sent to departments of mathematical sciences in the U.S. and to new doctoral recipients earning degrees between July 1, 2009–June 30, 2010 from departments with doctoral programs, four reports were published in the Notices of the AMS*. The 2011 Assistantships and Graduate Fellowships in the Mathematical Sciences were also published by the American Mathematical Society with advice from the committee. Staff at AMS handled seven requests for specialized reports drawn from the Annual Survey Data.

Members of the committee for 2011 and the organization they represent are given below. Terms expire on January 31 of the listed year.

CURRENT DATA GATHERING OF THE AMS-ASA-IMS-MAA-SIAM DATA COMMITTEE December 2011

The AMS-ASA-IMS-MAA-SIAM Data Committee gives advice to staff at AMS about annual data gathering from U.S. departments in the mathematical sciences. This data gathering was started by AMS in 1957 and has continued uninterrupted since that time. The MAA joined this effort in 1989 and in more recent times IMS, ASA and SIAM have become sponsors. Staff at the AMS, under the Associate Executive Director for Meetings and Professional Services, carries out the survey work. The Chair of the Data Committee and appropriate personnel at AMS write four reports each year drawn from the annual survey that are published in Notices of the AMS. Preliminary Report on the 2010-2011 New Doctoral Recipients. Each calendar year the data gathering begins in April. Doctoral granting departments in the Mathematical Sciences in the U.S. are asked to report a variety of information about their new doctoral recipients from July 1 the previous year through June 30 of the current year. The departments are asked for the names of their new doctoral recipients, dissertation titles, addresses, citizenship, current employment status, etc. Information gathered for this report is typically published in the February issue of the Notices of the AMS

2010-2011 Faculty Salaries Report. Each June a questionnaire is sent to Mathematical Sciences departments in all 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S. asking them to provide salary information for all tenured or tenure-track faculty in their department for the upcoming academic year. This information is reported by group (see group definitions below) and by rank. Information gathered for this report is typically published in the March issue of the Notices of the AMS.

The 2010-2011 Doctoral Recipients and Starting Salary Survey of the 2010-2011 Doctoral Recipients. Each October, further information is gathered about new doctoral recipients. Using the names and addresses of new doctoral recipients provided earlier by departments granting the degrees, a questionnaire is sent to each new doctoral recipient asking for their current employment status, salary, gender, etc. This information, combined with the preliminary data, provides a more comprehensive look the new doctoral recipients as well as to give information about their starting salaries. This information is typically published in the August issue of Notices of the AMS.

The 2009-2010 Departmental Profile Report: Faculty Profile, Enrollment and Degrees Awarded Profile, Graduate Student Profile. In January, another questionnaire is sent to all departments of Mathematical Sciences in Groups I, II, III, IV, V and M, and to a stratified random sample of departments in Group B. It asks them for details about number and type of faculty, enrollments in courses by broad categories, number and type of graduate students in departments with graduate programs, etc. Information from this questionnaire provides a departmental profile for each department. The combined results are published as the 2009-2010 Departmental Profile Report in the November issue of Notices of the AMS.

Group definitions. For purposes of these surveys, the departments of Mathematical Sciences in the U.S. are broken into the groups, and whenever it makes sense, results are given for each of these groups in the reports mentioned earlier. For example, Groups I, II, and III are doctoral granting mathematics departments grouped according to their ranking in the 1995 NRC ranking of doctoral programs in the U.S. For more details see www.ams.org/annual-survey/groups_des.

Other activities. The Annual Survey Data Committee also offers guidance on the data gathered and published annually as a guidebook for prospective graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences. This guidebook is titled Assistantships and Graduate Fellowships in the Mathematical Sciences.

At times the committee advises other groups contemplating gathering data from departments of Mathematical Sciences. This may include informing them that such data is already available and steering them to it. When asked, the committee makes suggestions on questionnaires that other groups are planning to use to gather data.

From time to time departments ask for salary information for a peer group of their department. The staff at AMS provides this information whenever an appropriate peer group is available and the confidentiality of individual department responses can be assured. The committee currently holds a half-day meeting at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in January each year.
