SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Survey of Grantees of SEES and Comparable Non-SEES Programs. OMB Number: 3145–NEW. Type of request: Intent to seek approval for ICR. Abstract In 2010, NSF established the SEES Portfolio as a multi-year effort to coordinate Agency research and education activities related to the environment, energy and sustainability. The overarching goals of the SEES portfolio are to (1) support interdisciplinary research and education that can facilitate the move towards global sustainability; (2) build linkages among existing projects and partners and add new participants in the sustainability research enterprise; and (3) develop a workforce trained in the interdisciplinary scholarship needed to understand and address the complex issues of sustainability. NSF is supporting an evaluation of the SEES portfolio to determine the extent to which it has achieved its program- and portfolio-level goals. Specifically, the evaluation seeks to measure the output and outcomes of SEES in terms of the development of new knowledge and concepts that advance the overarching goal of a sustainable human future, new and productive connections made between researchers in a range of disciplines, and the development of a workforce capable of meeting sustainability challenges. This comment request relates to a proposed survey of NSF grant recipients. The survey respondents are principal investigators (PIs) in NSFfunded SEES and comparable non-SEES projects. The survey will collect information on respondents’ career pathways, NSF grant activities, and the development of interdisciplinary networks of scholars among researchers. I. Review Focus NSF is interested in comments on the practical utility of the survey in view of the project goals and the study approach, the burden on respondents and potential ways to minimize it.
