instrument and instructions from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: National
Evaluation of the Alliances for Graduate
Education and the Professoriate,
program survey and interview and focus
group protocols.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection for three years.
Proposed Project: The Division of
Human Resource Development of the
Education and Human Resources
Directorate (EHR/HRD) of the National
Science Foundation has requested
information on the Alliances for
Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (AGEP) Program. Funded
by NSF, the AGEP Program currently
funds 17 alliances of postsecondary
institutions to promote the participation
of underrepresented minority students
in PhD programs in the fields of science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM). The ultimate goal
of the program is to increase the number
of underrepresented minorities in these
fields who enter the professoriate. NSF
seeks information from participants—
that is, staff, students and faculty—to
determine what influence the program
has had on minority graduate students’
decisions to enroll in and graduate from
STEM doctoral programs and enter the
professoriate. NSF proposes a
longitudinal approach to the evaluation
that includes analysis of extant data
sources (e.g., Survey of Earned
Doctorates), virtual site visits with
AGEP institutions, and a program
survey. The virtual site visits will
include up to 30 PhD granting
universities (up to 10 each year in 2011,
2012, and 2013). These site visits
include interviews with program staff
and focus groups with students and
faculty via videoconferencing or phone.
The program survey will be completed
once by each AGEP-funded institution.
Estimate of Burden for Virtual Site
Visits: The Foundation estimates that,
on average, 90 minutes will be required
to conduct each program staff interview
(2 per institution) and 60 minutes will
be required for each faculty or student
focus group (6 participants per group
per institution). The Foundation
estimates a total of up to 90 (1.5 hr × 2
× 30) hours to complete all program staff
interviews and up to 360 (1hr × 12 × 30)
hours to complete all faculty and
student focus groups bringing the total
burden hours to 450 for all respondents.
Visited institutions will be selected

based on characteristics (e.g., institution
type, student population served, age of
alliance, geography) that will allow for
a variety of perspectives.
Respondents (Virtual Site Visits):
AGEP STEM program staff at 30 AGEP
STEM institutions; STEM faculty at 30
AGEP STEM institutions and STEM
graduate students at 30 AGEP
institutions.
Estimated Total Number of
Respondents (Virtual Site Visits): 420
individuals total.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 150 hrs annually.
Estimate of Burden for Program
Survey: The Foundation estimates that,
on average, 30 minutes will be required
to administer a 65 question survey to a
program coordinator at each AGEP
STEM funded PhD institution. The
survey will be administered once to all
institutions funded as of May 2013.
Respondents from the up to 82
institutions that received NSF AGEP
support will be asked to complete this
survey once.
Respondents (Surveys): One AGEP
STEM program staff member at up to 82
AGEP STEM institutions.
Estimated Total Number of Responses
(Surveys): 5,330.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 25 hours in year one for
each of the 50 surveys; 8 hours in year
two and 8 hours in year three for
estimated grantees after spring 2011.
Dated: June 1, 2011.
