Abstract:	The rich variety of data collection modes involved with the various R&D statistics programs and surveys, censuses, and administrative data compilations affords a unique opportunity to employ standardized error profile techniques developed by Brooks and Bailar, and promulgated by the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology across a range of applications. The National Academy of Science panel looked at the statistical quality of each of NSF's major data collections. The major findings of the panel review in terms of questionnaire design, electronic collection means, estimation with rare populations, imputation, and nonresponse adjustment are discussed.
