Abstract
Proposed Project
The Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Reporting
Module is a component of the NSF
Project Reports System that is designed
to gather information about students
participating in Research Experiences
for Undergraduates (REU) Sites and
Supplements projects. All NSF projects
are required to use the FastLane Project
Reports System for developing and
submitting annual and final project
reports. If NSF cannot collect
information about undergraduate
participants in undergraduate research
experiences, NSF will have no other
means to consistently document the
number and diversity of participants,
types of participant involvement in the
research, and types of institutions
represented by the participants.
NSF is committed to providing
program stakeholders with information
regarding the expenditure of taxpayer
funds on these types of experiences,
which provide training for
postsecondary students in basic and
applied research in STEM.
Background
All NSF grantees are required to use
the FastLane Project Reports System for
reporting progress, accomplishments,
participants, and activities annually and
at the conclusion of their project.
Information from annual and final
reports provides yearly updates on
project inputs, activities, and outcomes
for agency reporting purposes. If project
participants include undergraduate
students supported by the Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Sites Program or by an REU
Supplement, then the grantees and their
students are required to complete the
REU Reporting Module.
Respondents: Individuals (Principal
Investigators and REU undergraduate
student participants).
Number of Principal Investigator
Respondents: 2,000.
Burden on the Public: 650 total hours.
Number of REU Student Participant
Respondents: 7,250.
