SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance of the
Science Resources Statistics Survey
Improvement Projects.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0174.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31,
2013.
Abstract. Established within the
National Science Foundation by the
America COMPETES Reauthorization
Act of 2010 § 505, codified in the
National Science Foundation Act of
1950, as amended, the National Center
for Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) serves as a central Federal
clearinghouse for the collection,
interpretation, analysis, and
dissemination of objective data on
science, engineering, technology, and
research and development for use by
practitioners, researchers, policymakers,
and the public. NCSES conducts about
a dozen nationally-representative
surveys to obtain the data for these
purposes. The Generic Clearance will be
used to ensure that the highest quality
data are obtained from these surveys.
State of the art methodology will be
used to develop, evaluate, and test
questionnaires and survey concepts as
well as to improve survey methodology.
This may include field or pilot tests of
questions for future large scale surveys,
as needed.
Expected Respondents. The
respondents will be from industry,
academia, nonprofit organizations,
members of the public, and State, local,
and Federal governments. Respondents
will be either individuals or
institutions, depending upon the survey
under investigation. Qualitative
procedures will generally be conducted
in person or over the phone, but
quantitative procedures may be
conducted using mail, Web, email, or
76077
phone modes, depending on the topic
under investigation. Up to 11,060
respondents will be contacted across all
survey improvement projects. No
respondent will be contacted more than
twice in one year under this generic
clearance. Every effort will be made to
use technology to limit the burden on
respondents from small entities.
Both qualitative and quantitative
methods will be used to improve
NCSES’s current data collection
instruments and processes and to
reduce respondent burden, as well as to
develop new surveys. Qualitative
methods include, but are not limited to,
expert review; exploratory, cognitive,
and usability interviews; focus groups;
and respondent debriefings. Cognitive
and usability interviews may include
the use of scenarios, paraphrasing, card
sorts, vignette classifications, and rating
tasks. Quantitative methods include, but
are not limited to, telephone surveys,
behavior coding, split panel tests, and
field tests.
Use of the Information. The purpose
of these studies is to use the latest and
most appropriate methodology to
improve NCSES surveys and evaluate
new data collection efforts.
Methodological findings may be
presented externally in technical papers
at conferences, published in the
proceedings of conferences, or in
journals. Improved NCSES surveys will
help policy makers in decisions on
research and development funding,
graduate education, and the scientific
and technical workforce, as well as
contributing to reduced survey costs.
Burden on the Public. NCSES
estimates that a total reporting and
recordkeeping burden of 14,280 hours
will result from activities to improve its
surveys. The calculation is shown in
Table 1.
