Abstract
Proposed Project: The purpose of the
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
Program is to help ensure the vitality
and diversity of the scientific and
engineering workforce in the United
States. The program recognizes and
supports outstanding graduate students
who are pursuing research-based
master‘s and doctoral degrees in fields
within NSF’s mission. The GRFP
provides three years of support, to be
used during a five-year fellowship
period, for the graduate education of
individuals who have demonstrated
their potential for significant
achievements in science and
engineering research.
The Graduate Research Fellowship
Program uses several sources of
information in assessing and
documenting program performance and
impact. These sources include reports
from program evaluation, the GRFP
Committee of Visitors, and data
compiled from the applications. In
addition, GRFP Fellows submit annual
activity reports to NSF.
The GRFP Completion report is
proposed as a new component of the
annual reporting submitted by each
GRFP institution to NSF. The
Completion Report and the existing
Program Expense Report will comprise
the GRFP Annual Report. GRFP
institutions will certify the current
status of all GRFP Fellows at the
institution. The current status will be
reported as either In Progress,
Graduated, Transferred, or Withdrawn.
For Graduate Fellows with Graduated
status, the graduation date is a required
reporting element. Collection of this
information will allow the program to
obtain information on the current status
of Fellows, the number and/or
percentage of Graduate Fellowship
recipients who complete a science or
engineering graduate degree, and an
VerDate Mar<15>2010

estimate of time to degree completion.
The report must be certified and
submitted by the institution’s
designated Financial Official (FO)
annually.
Use of the Information: The
completion report data will provide the
GRFP with accurate Fellow information
regarding their completion of their
graduate programs. The data will be
used by NSF in its assessment of the
impact of its investments in the GRFP,
and will inform its program
management.
Estimate of Burden: Overall average
time will be 15 minutes per Fellow
(6886 Fellows) for a total of 1722 hours
for all institutions with Fellows. An
estimate for institutions with 12 or
fewer Fellows will be 1 hour,
institutions with 12–48 fellows will be
4 hours, and institutions over 48
Fellows will be 10 hours.
Respondents: Academic institutions
with GRFP Fellows.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Report: One from each of the 228
current GRFP institutions.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance and function of the
National Science Foundation, including
whether the information shall be useful;
(b) the accuracy of NSF’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
utility and clarity of the information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond and (e) the usefulness of
the data to institutions.
