SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 20, 2009, we published in the
Federal Register (74 FR 60300) 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 19, 2009. We received one
comment regarding this notice.
Comment: One comment was received
from Roger Clegg, President and General
Counsel, Center for Equal Opportunity:
‘‘The ADVANCE Program is described as
‘‘address[ing] the underrepresentation
and inadequate advancement of
women,’’ and ‘‘gender equity outcomes,’’
for STEM faculty. We hope that the
Program does not contemplate the use of
quotas, numerical goals, or other
discrimination or preferences as ways to
address underrepresentation (a dubious
term) or gender equity (likewise
dubious). Such discrimination and
preference is presumptively
unconstitutional when engaged in by
government, including federal
government agencies (see Mississippi
University for Women v. Hogan, 458
U.S. 718 (1982) (gender discrimination
requires an ‘‘exceedingly persuasive
justification’’), and faculty
discrimination on the basis of sex is
illegal under Title VII of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.’’
Response: We responded via email on
November 30, 2009: Thank you for your
comment in response to the Federal
Register notice published November 20,
2009 ‘‘National Science Foundation
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection,
Comment Request.’’ The NSF ADVANCE
program does not use quotas, numerical
goals, or other discrimination or
preferences. Further information on the
ADVANCE program is available at:
https://www.nsf.gov/advance.
Title of Collection: Quantitative
Evaluation of the ADVANCE Program.

OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW.
Abstract: The ADVANCE Program
was established by the National Science
Foundation in 2001 to address the
underrepresentation and inadequate
advancement of women on STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics) faculties at postsecondary
institutions. The evaluation being
conducted by Westat focuses on the
outcomes of two ADVANCE program
components: (a) The first two (2001 and
2003) cohorts of Institutional
Transformation (IT) awardees, and (b)
both (2002 and 2004) cohorts of
individuals receiving ADVANCE
Fellows awards. The study will rely on
a thorough review of project documents
and relevant literature; a survey
(facilitated online via WebEx) and an
outcome indicator data form
(distributed and completed
electronically) for the 19 IT awardee
institutions; and a mail survey, with
telephone followup as needed, of all 59
former Fellows.
In addition, the study will use data
from the 2001 and 2008 administrations
of the Survey of Doctorate Recipients
(SDR) for comparison purposes.
The evaluation of the IT component
has two primary goals: To compare
selected gender equity outcomes for
STEM faculty at the 19 IT Cohorts 1 and
2 institutions and at other similar U.S.
four-year colleges and universities that
have not subsequently received
ADVANCE IT awards, and to develop
innovative institutional-level measures
of changes in gender equity climate and
practices that can be applied to
evaluating the outcomes of the IT
award. The primary goal of the Fellows
evaluation is to compare the career
trajectories of ADVANCE Fellows with
those of similar individuals who were
not awarded these fellowships.
Respondents: Faculty and staff at
institutions of higher education and
individuals holding doctoral degrees in
STEM fields awarded an NSF
ADVANCE Fellowship.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 139.
Burden on the Public: 1,859 hours.
Dated: January 14, 2010.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science
Foundation.
