The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a nationally representative, longitudinal study of more
than 20,000 9th graders in 944 schools in 2009 who are being followed through their secondary and
postsecondary years. The study focuses on understanding students’ trajectories from the beginning of high school
into postsecondary education or the workforce and beyond. What students decide to pursue when, why, and how
are crucial questions for HSLS:09, especially, but not solely, in regards to science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM) courses, majors, and careers. To date, HSLS:09 measured math achievement gains in the first 3
years of high school and, like past studies, surveyed students, their parents, school administrators, school
counselors, and teachers. After the initial 2009 data collection, the main study students were re-surveyed in 2012
when most were high school 11th-graders, and again in 2013 when most had just graduated from high school.
The second follow-up data collection will take place in early 2016, and will consist of a survey, postsecondary
transcript collection, financial aid records collection, and file matching to extant data sources. The second followup focuses on postsecondary attendance patterns, field of study selection processes with particular emphasis on
STEM, the postsecondary academic and social experience, education financing, employment history including
instances of unemployment and underemployment, job characteristics including income and benefits, job values,
family formation, and civic engagement. The HSLS:09 data elements are designed to support research that
speaks to the underlying dynamics and education processes that influence student achievement, growth, and
personal development over time. The HSLS:09 Second Follow-up Main Study and 2018 Panel Maintenance
request was approved by OMB in December 2015 with updates in March and May 2016 (OMB# 1850-0852 v.1720). This submission provides results from the third phase of calibration sample recruitment experiment, and
requests approval for recommended first incentive boost amount for phase 3 of the main sample data collection,
as well as approval to send a “thank you” email to respondents once they complete the survey.
