Question:
First, the researcher would like to know if detailed information from RDHES or HERD is available. He’s especially interested in the type of research being done.
Second, he’d like to know if the current version of UCASS includes department codes or field of expertise information. The old version which ended in 2011 included 2-digit CIP codes, but that appears to be missing now, unless it’s been suppressed.
Answer:
In regards to your first question, Subject Matter has informed us that such detail is unfortunately not available from RDHES or HERD.
In regards to your second question, we have received the following response:
“UCASS collects department codes at the 2 digit CIP level, and subject taught codes at the 4 digit CIP level. This information is available from 1970 to 2010 and 2016. We are currently working on filling in the years that the survey was cancelled (2011 to 2015) but this information has not yet been released.”
