Abstract:
The scope of this information collection request will primarily cover descriptive information gathered from education and training projects that are funded by NSF. NSF will primarily use the data from this collection for program planning, management, and audit purposes to respond to queries from the Congress, the public, NSF's external merit reviewers who serve as advisers, including Committees of Visitors (COVs), the NSF's Office of the Inspector General and as a basis for either internal or third-party valuations of individual programs. The collections will generally include three categories of descriptive data: (1) Staff and project participants (data that are also necessary to determine individual-level treatment and control groups for future third-party study or for internal evaluation); (2) project implementation characteristics (also necessary for future use to identify well-matched comparison groups); and (3) project outputs (necessary to measure baseline for pre- and post- NSF-funding level impacts).

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Increase Due to:
Miscellaneous Actions
Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Reduction Due to:
Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The decrease in respondents is due largely to (1) transitions in several programs that are no longer making new awards (i.e., GK-12, IGERT, RDE, STEP, and TUES), and (2) a decision by the AISL program to leverage NSF enterprise data to provide evidence necessary for monitoring, post-award management, and assessment of outcomes associated with AISL projects. In future years, the burden will be affected by the deletion and addition of some subtasks and respondents. NSF will notify OMB when there are significant changes to the burden.
