In August 2016, Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc. (Synectics) was awarded a surveys data collection and analysis contract with the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal of this five-year, $5M contract is to provide high-quality statistical data collection and trend reporting support for the Survey of Federal R&D Funds (Federal Funds Survey) and the Survey of Federal Science and Engineering (S&E) Support to Universities and Colleges (Federal Support Survey). Says Jeffrey H. Smith, President of the company, “We are excited to continue our exceptional performance for NSF and supporting their goal in reducing data collection periods so that surveys can be completed and published more timely.”
