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.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

Form: 2500.
