is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: NCER–NPSAS
Grants—Financial Aid Nudges: A
National Experiment to Increase
Retention of Financial Aid and College
Persistence.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 112,500.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 11,625.
Abstract: In 2010, the National Center
for Education Research (NCER) and the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), both within the U.S.
Department of Education’s Institute of
Education Sciences (IES), began
collaborating on an education grant
opportunity related to the crosssectional National Postsecondary
Student Aid Study (NPSAS). NPSAS is
a large, nationally-representative sample
of postsecondary institutions and
students that contains student-level
records on student demographics and
family background, work experience,
expectations, receipt of financial aid,
and postsecondary enrollment (see
https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/npsas/
about.asp; (OMB #1850–0666)). Since
1987, NPSAS has been fielded every 3
to 4 years, most recently during the
2015–16 academic year. The goal of this
NCER–NCES collaboration is to provide
researchers the opportunity to develop
‘‘one-off’’ projects that would target a
subset of the NPSAS sample. Under this
NCER–NCES grant opportunity,
researchers submit applications to the
Education Research Grants program
(84.305A) under the Postsecondary and
Adult Education topic and to the
Exploration or Efficacy/Replication
research goals. NCER supports research
projects using NPSAS subsamples to: (1)
Explore the relations between
postsecondary persistence and
completion, and malleable factors (as

well as the mediators and moderators of
those relationships), and (2) evaluate the
efficacy of interventions aimed at
improving persistence and completion
of postsecondary education. Through
the grant award, researchers can obtain
indirect access to a subsample of the
NPSAS sample after the study’s student
interviews have been completed. This
request is to conduct, in 2017, the
‘‘Financial Aid Nudges: A National
Experiment to Increase Retention of
Financial Aid and College Persistence’’
study, funded by the NCER–NPSAS
grant, designed to measure the
effectiveness of an intervention that will
provide financial aid information,
reminders, and advising to college
students who were initially interviewed
as part of NPSAS:16.

Abstract: In 2010, the National Center for Education Research
(NCER) and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), both
within the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education
Sciences (IES), began collaborating on an education grant opportunity
related to the cross-
[[Page 72583]]
sectional National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). NPSAS is a
large, nationally-representative sample of postsecondary institutions
and students that contains student-level records on student
demographics and family background, work experience, expectations,
receipt of financial aid, and postsecondary enrollment (see https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/npsas/about.asp; (OMB #1850-0666)). Since 1987,
NPSAS has been fielded every 3 to 4 years, most recently during the
2015-16 academic year. The goal of this NCER-NCES collaboration is to
provide researchers the opportunity to develop ``one-off'' projects
that would target a subset of the NPSAS sample. Under this NCER-NCES
grant opportunity, researchers submit applications to the Education
Research Grants program (84.305A) under the Postsecondary and Adult
Education topic and to the Exploration or Efficacy/Replication research
goals. NCER supports research projects using NPSAS subsamples to: (1)
Explore the relations between postsecondary persistence and completion,
and malleable factors (as well as the mediators and moderators of those
relationships), and (2) evaluate the efficacy of interventions aimed at
improving persistence and completion of postsecondary education.
Through the grant award, researchers can obtain indirect access to a
subsample of the NPSAS sample after the study's student interviews have
been completed. This request is to conduct, in 2017, the ``Connecting
Students 2017: Testing the Effectiveness of FAFSA Interventions on
