Science Foundation (NSF), will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
A Survey of Principal Investigators for
the National Science Foundation’s
Discovery Research K–12 (DR K–12)
program. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection. Need and Use
of Information Collection: This study
will assess the implementation of
resources, models, and technologies to
determine how and why
implementation affects STEM learning,
to inform program improvement, and to
enhance understanding of both what the
program is accomplishing and how. The
primary objectives of the study are to
conduct a survey of principal
investigators of the DR–K12 programs to
understand the impact and influence of
the DRK–12 program and to identify the
links between the DR K–12 program and
other NSF programs. The findings will
provide valuable information
concerning the impacts and influences
of the granting program and grantees
and the extent to which DR K–12
program influence broader American
society.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Type of Respondents: DR K–12
Principal Investigators. There are no
Capital Costs to report.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
388; Estimated Number of Responses
per Respondent: 1: Average Burden
Hours Per Response: .30. Estimated
Total Annual Burden Hours Requested:
194.00 and the annualized cost to
respondents is estimated at $6,208.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
NSF, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the NSF’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, 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, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
