National Research Council (NRC)

On July 10, 2009, the National Research Council (NRC) released A Guide to the Methodology of the National Research Council Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs, which is available on the NRC's home site. The methodology guide is not the final report and is not the assessment itself. The final report, with rankings of doctoral programs, is expected sometime this fall, though no release date has been announced.
