Principal Investigators submitting proposals to this Office will be asked to complete an electronic version of the International Cover Page Addendum. The Addendum requests foreign counterpart investigator/host information and participant demographics not requested elsewhere in NSF proposal documents. The information gathered with the International Cover Page Addendum serves four purposes. The first is to enable proposal assignment to the program officer responsible for activity with the primary countries involved. No current component of a standard NSF proposal requests this information. (The international cooperative activities box on the standard NSF Cover Page applies only to one specific type of activity, not the wide range of activities supported by OISE.) NSF proposal assignment applications are program element-based and therefore cannot be used to determine assignment by country. The second use of the information is program management. OISE is committed to investing in activities in all regions of the world. With data from this form, the Office can determine submissions by geographic region. Thirdly, funding decisions cannot be made without details for the international partner not included in any other part of the submission process. The fourth section, counts of scientists and students to be supported by the project, are also not available elsewhere in the proposal since OISE budgets do not include participant support costs.

Abstract

    The Office of International Science and Engineering within the 
Office of the NSF Director will use the International Cover Page 
Addendum. Principal Investigators submitting proposals to this Office 
will be asked to complete an electronic version of the International 
Cover Page Addendum. The Addendum requests foreign counterpart 
investigator/host information and participant demographics not 
requested elsewhere in NSF proposal documents.
    The information gathered with the International Cover Page Addendum 
serves four purposes. The first is to enable proposal assignment to the 
program officer responsible for activity with the primary countries 
involved. No current component of a standard NSF proposal requests this 
information. (The international cooperative activities box on the 
standard NSF Cover Page applies only to one specific type of activity, 
not the wide range of activities supported by OISE.) NSF proposal 
assignment applications are program element-based and therefore cannot 
be used to determine assignment by country. The second use of the 
information is program management. OISE is committed to investing in 
activities in all regions of the world. With data from this form, the 
Office can determine submissions by geographic region. Thirdly, funding 
decisions cannot be made without details for the international partner 
not included in any other part of the submission process. The fourth 
section, counts of scientists and students to be supported by the 
project, are also not available elsewhere in the proposal since OISE 
budgets do not include participant support costs. These factors are all 
important for OISE program management.
    Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 600.
    Burden on the Public: 150 hours (15 minutes per respondent).
