Download as PDF 3744 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 26, 2005 / Notices unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 3, 2004, we published in the Federal Register (69 FR 64113) a 60-day notice of our intent to request renewal of this information collection authority from OMB. In that notice, we solicited public comments for 60 days ending January 3, 2005. We received one comment regarding this notice. Comment: One commenter wrote about the value of the program. Response: NSF believes that in order to continue funding, program evaluations are necessary. Title of Collection: Evaluation of NSF Support for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (URO). OMB Number: 3145–0121. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to continue an existing information collection for three years. Abstract: Follow-up Research on Undergraduate Research Opportunities (URO–2). Proposed Project: The National Science Foundation (NSF) manages a number of programs that provide meaningful research experiences for undergraduate students. This suite of programs includes: Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), both the Site and Supplement components; Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI); the undergraduate research components in several of NSF’s large research centers programs, e.g., Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Programs, Science and Technology Centers (STCs); and several institutionwide resources development programs in which undergraduate research experiences are often one component. These Programs provide a wide range of US undergraduate students with opportunities to conduct hands-on research under the mentorship of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty in various types of higher education institutions, including small liberal arts colleges, minority-serving institutions, research universities, as well as non-profit institutions in which science or engineering research is conducted. The purpose of the proposed evaluation is to follow-up on undergraduate participants in research experiences supported by NSF who were surveyed in 2003. The 2003 survey VerDate jul<14>2003 19:33 Jan 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 collected information about why participants chose to participate in research, the nature of the research activities, effects of research on participants’ knowledge, skills, confidence, awareness, and academic career interests and aspirations. The proposed survey will provide information about participants’ current academic and employment status (in 2003, most of the respondents were in their senior year of college) and participants’ current perceptions of the effects of their undergraduate research experiences on their career and academic decisions. The survey database will be linked to that of the 2003 survey to access differences on a number of dimensions, including NSF program, academic major, type of academic institution, and sex and race/ ethnicity of the participant. Use of the Information: NSF and others who design undergraduate research programs will be able to use the information to help design programs that meet the needs of different kinds of students in different kinds of settings. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response. Respondents: Individuals. Estimated Number of Respondents: 2900. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1450 hours—2900 respondents at 30 minutes each. Frequency of response: One time. Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on respondents; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond.
