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

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.
