Request for Clearance for Program
Review of the Science and Technology
Centers (STC): Integrative Partnership
Program
Title of Collection: Program Review of
the National Science Foundation’s
(NSF) Science and Technology Centers:
Integrative Partnership Program.
OMB Control No.: 3145–(NEW).
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Abstract
The National Science Foundation
(NSF) requests a three-year clearance for
research, evaluation and data collection
(e.g., surveys and interviews) from
graduate student and postdoctoral
participants in the Science and
Technology Centers: Integrative
Partnerships (STC) Program. Other STC
stakeholders typically are limited to
PhD scientists and engineers and faculty
and administrators from universities
and not-for-profit institutions and
industrial/business partners, NSF
employees and former NSF employees
and intergovernmental personnel act
(IPA) appointees.
The STC program provides multiyear
(up to ten years) support to STCs as
continuing awards that are among the
largest (up to $4 million a year) awarded
by the National Science Foundation
(NSF). This support fuels innovation
and builds intellectual and physical
infrastructure within and among
disciplines in the integrative conduct of
research, education, and knowledge
transfer. The STC program currently
funds a total of 17 Centers—five
beginning in 2000, six beginning in
2002, two beginning in 2005, and four
beginning in 2006. STCs conduct worldclass research through partnerships
among academic institutions, national
laboratories, industrial organizations,
and/or other public/private entities, and

via international collaborations, as
appropriate. STCs enable and foster
excellence in education, the integration
of research and education, and the
creation of bonds between learning and
inquiry so that discovery and creativity
more fully support the learning process.
In addition, STCs capitalize on diversity
through participation in Center
activities and demonstrate leadership in
the involvement of groups
underrepresented in science and
engineering.
Based on prior evaluations of the
program, the National Science Board
(NSB) approved the continuation of
Science and Technology Centers
through the establishment of new
program solicitations and several new
competitions. As part of the
continuation, the NSB required the
program to conduct a program
evaluation of the outcomes and impact
of the program seven years after the first
new cohort of Centers were established
(Memorandum to Members of the
National Science Board, February 13,
1997).
A related data collection effort that
consists of general grantee reporting is
approved for program monitoring under
OMB 3145–0194. To enable effective
oversight of its investment, the NSF
requires that each currently funded
Center submit an annual progress report
that describes all activities of the Center;
each existing Center began submitting
an annual report at the end of its first
year. While a database of Centers’
characteristics, activities, and outcomes
has been created using data from these
annual reports, supplemental
information is required to fulfill the
evaluative needs of the program.
NSF has planned a new program
review of STC, and has contracted with
Abt Associates Inc. to provide for
analytic and technical support, to
include data collection and analysis, for
an expert peer review of the program.
To help fulfill the evaluation needs of
the program, NSF has planned to collect
data that is designed to explore the
structures and processes the STCs and
their participating universities have in
place for developing the human capital
of program participants and for fostering
a variety of career paths. The primary
methods of data collection will include
data gathering from open sources and
from records at NSF and grantee centers
and from surveys of program
participants. There are a bounded (or
limited) number of respondents within
the general public who will be affected
by this research, including former
graduate student and postdoctoral
fellow participants of the centers. NSF
will use the STC program evaluation
