SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Descriptive and Exploratory Study of the National Science Foundation’s Small Grants for Exploratory Research Funding Mechanism. OMB Number: 3145–New. Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable. Type of request: New. Abstract: The SGER funding mechanism was developed in 1989 by an external committee, and authorized by NSF Director Bloch for use beginning at the start of Fiscal Year 1990. The committee’s charge was to recommend whether NSF as a whole should adopt a mechanism similar to one that had been piloted by the Engineering Directorate, known as Small Grants for Expedited Research. While that title emphasized award timeliness, the mechanism’s purposes included funding innovative research ideas. The current formulation of SGER remains conceptually and administratively similar to its original purposes and practices. Over time, NSF has broadened award parameters (award ceiling and duration) and sharpened definitions of purposes (e.g., inserting the term Transformative Research). In at least one case the SGER mechanism was modified for a specific program purpose (the Nanoscale Exploratory Grants, which were externally reviewed). All applicants will be asked about topics relating to the application process (how they found out about SGER, why this mechanism and not a standard proposal, etc.). Awardees will also be asked about activities resulting from their awards, such as follow-on proposals, involvement of graduate students, and testing of new instrumentation. Declinees will be asked, for example, what action they took concerning the declined proposal (wrote standard proposal to NSF or another agency, and whether that was awarded). All applicants will be asked about the guidelines and funding and mechanism, and how they can be improved, e.g., through changes in their design components, expected outcomes, proposal review criteria, etc. PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The survey data collection will be done on the World Wide Web. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response. Respondents: Government grant holders—Individuals. Estimated Number of Responses per Form: 2500. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 400 hours (800 respondents at 30 minutes per response). Frequency of Response: Once.
