We are pleased to announce the official release of the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) Restricted Data Analysis System (RDAS). The SED RDAS is a new online data tool designed to expand public access to SED data and allow users to generate customized data tables on a simple yet powerful interface in a secured platform. The SED RDAS contains a comprehensive set of variables beginning with the 2017 SED data, that are not publicly accessible elsewhere.
