Sunshine Notice; March 10, 2011 Board of Directors Meeting, 5842 [2011-2310]

Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 5842 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2011 / Notices Clearance (TOC), NSF primarily uses the data from the EHR Generic Clearance for program planning, management, and audit purposes to respond to queries from the Congress, the public, NSF’s external merit reviewers who serve as advisors, including Committees of Visitors (COVs), and the NSF’s Office of the Inspector General. OMB has limited the collection to three categories of descriptive data: (1) Staff and project participants (data that are also necessary to determine individual-level treatment and control groups for future third-party study); (2) project implementation characteristics (also necessary for future use to identify well-matched comparison groups); and (3) project outputs (necessary to measure baseline for pre- and postNSF-funding-level impacts). Use of the Information: This information is required for effective administration, communication, program and project monitoring and evaluation, and for measuring attainment of NSF’s program, project, and strategic goals, and as identified by the President’s Accountable Government Initiative; the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010, and the NSF’s Strategic Plan. The Foundation’s FY 2006–2011 Strategic Plan describes four strategic outcome goals of Discovery, Learning, Research Infrastructure, and Stewardship. NSF’s complete strategic plan may be found at: https://www.nsf.gov/publications/ pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf0648. Since the EHR Generic Clearance research is primarily used for accountability purposes, including responding from queries from COVs and other scientific experts, a census rather than sampling design typically is necessary. At the individual project level funding can be adjusted based on individual project’s responses to some of the surveys. Some data collected under the EHR Clearance serve as baseline data for separate research and evaluation studies. In order to conduct program- or portfolio-level evaluations, however, both experimental and quasiexperimental evaluation research studies on STEM education interventions require researchers to identify individual-level and organization- or project-level control and treatment groups or comparison groups. NSF-funded contract or grantee researchers and evaluators in part may identify control, comparison, or treatment groups for NSF’s E&T portfolio using some of the descriptive data gathered through OMB 3145–0136 to conduct well-designed, rigorous VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:00 Feb 01, 2011 Jkt 223001 research and portfolio evaluation studies. In accordance with the 2001, 2005, and 2008 OMB TOCs, NSF requests separate stand-alone clearance (and separately announces for comment in the Federal Register) any program or portfolio research or evaluation. Two examples of third-party evaluations that used EHR OMB 3145–0136 data to inform study design are: OMB No. 3145–0187 (Expiring 8/2011) Evaluation of the NSF’s Graduate STEM Fellows in K–12 Education (GK–12) Program and OMB No. 3145–0182 (Expiring 3/2011) Evaluation of the NSF’s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Program: Followup Study of IGERT Graduates, both conducted by Abt Associates. Respondents: Individuals or households, not-for-profit institutions, business or other for profit, and Federal, State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 7,470. Burden of the Public: The total estimate for this collection is 49,556 annual burden hours. This figure is based on the previous 3 years of collecting information under this clearance and anticipated collections. The average annual reporting burden is between 1 and 72 hours per ‘‘respondent,’’ depending on whether a respondent is a direct participant who is self-reporting or representing a project and reporting on behalf of many project participants.
