Title of Collection: Evaluation of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. OMB Control No.: 3145–0217.

This included collecting primary data via surveys and interviews with Principal Investigators, Faculty, Noyce Recipients, and K–12 Principals. The Noyce program operates within NSF’s Division of Undergraduate Education, and bridges the higher education and the K–12 system. The Noyce Program encourages talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and professionals to become K–12 mathematics and science teachers. The program provides funds to institutions of higher education (IHEs) to support scholarships, stipends, and academic programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate STEM students who commit to teaching in high-need K–12 school districts as a condition of receiving financial support. Additionally, the program provides support to undergraduate freshmen and sophomores who serve as summer interns in STEM educational settings as an introduction to a possible career in teaching. Under the NSF Teaching Fellowship and Master Teaching Fellowship track, the Noyce program supports STEM professionals who enroll as NSF Teaching Fellows (TFs) in master’s degree programs leading to teacher certification by providing academic courses, professional development, and salary supplements as the Teaching Fellows fulfill a four-year teaching commitment in a high need school district. This track also supports exemplary math and science teachers, who have master’s degrees, to become Master Teaching Fellows (MTFs) in high need school districts by providing professional development and salary supplements. Since TFs are supported by the Noyce program in preparing for teacher certification and their early years of teaching, they will take the same survey that will be given to other recipients previously approved by OMB. NSF has developed a new survey as part of the overall evaluation for the MTFs. The MTF survey will be similar to the other recipient surveys for recipients who are teaching. However, it will focus more on the leadership activities expected of these more experienced teachers. Since MTFs were not supported by the Noyce Program in preparing for certification or their early teaching years, there are no questions in this survey about their teacher preparation program or support during early teaching.

for the evaluation of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program on

13, 2011 through OMB Control Number: 3145-0217. This included 
collecting primary data via surveys and interviews with Principal 
Investigators, Faculty, Noyce Recipients, and K-12 Principals.
    The Noyce program operates within NSF's Division of Undergraduate 
Education, and bridges the higher education and the K-12 system. The 
Noyce Program encourages talented science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics (STEM) majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics 
and science teachers. The program provides funds to institutions of 
higher education (IHEs) to support scholarships, stipends, and academic 
programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate STEM 
students who commit to teaching in high-need K-12 school districts as a 
condition of receiving financial support. Additionally, the program 
provides support to undergraduate freshmen and sophomores who serve as 
summer interns in STEM educational settings as an introduction to a 
possible career in teaching.
    Under the NSF Teaching Fellowship and Master Teaching Fellowship 
track, the Noyce program supports STEM professionals who enroll as NSF 
Teaching Fellows (TFs) in master's degree programs leading to teacher 
certification by providing academic courses, professional development, 
and salary supplements as the Teaching Fellows fulfill a four-year 
teaching commitment in a high need school district. This track also 
supports exemplary math and science teachers, who have master's 
degrees, to become Master Teaching Fellows (MTFs) in high need school 
districts by providing professional development and salary supplements.
    Since TFs are supported by the Noyce program in preparing for 
teacher certification and their early years of teaching, they will take 
the same survey that will be given to other recipients previously 
approved by OMB.
    NSF has developed a new survey as part of the overall evaluation 
for the MTFs. The MTF survey will be similar to the other recipient 
surveys for recipients who are teaching. However, it will focus more on 
the leadership activities expected of these more experienced teachers. 
Since MTFs were not supported by the Noyce Program in preparing for 
certification or their early teaching years, there are no questions in 
this survey about their teacher preparation program or support during 
early teaching.
    Respondents: Individuals, Federal Government, State, Local or 
Tribal Government and not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 104.
    Burden on the Public: 52 hours.
