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 continuing component of the annual reporting requirement for the program. This report, submitted by the GRFP Institution, certifies the completion status of Fellows at the institution (e.g., in progress, completed, graduated, transferred, or withdrawn). The existing Completion Report, Grants Roster Report, and the Program Expense Report comprise the GRFP Annual Reporting requirements from the Grantee GRFP institution. Through submission of the Completion Report to NSF GRFP institutions certify the current status of all GRFP Fellows at the institution as either: In Progress, Graduated, Transferred, or Withdrawn.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 allows 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 estimate of time to degree completion. The report must be certified and submitted by the institution’s designated Coordinating Official (CO) annually. Use of the Information: The completion report data provides NSF with accurate Fellow information regarding completion of the Fellows’ graduate programs. The data is used by NSF in its assessment of the impact of its investments in the GRFP, and informs its program management. Estimate of Burden: Overall average time will be 15 minutes per Fellow (8,500 Fellows) for a total of 2,215 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 NSF Graduate Fellows (GRFP Institutions). Estimated Number of Responses per Report: One from each of the 271 current GRFP institutions.

collection.
    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 of the United States. The program 
recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing 
research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology,

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 research achievements in STEM and STEM education.
    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 continuing component of 
the annual reporting requirement for the program. This report, 
submitted by the GRFP Institution, certifies the completion status of 
Fellows at the institution (e.g., in progress, completed, graduated, 
transferred, or withdrawn). The existing Completion Report, Grants 
Roster Report, and the Program Expense Report comprise the GRFP Annual 
Reporting requirements from the Grantee GRFP institution. Through 
submission of the Completion Report to NSF GRFP institutions certify 
the current status of all GRFP Fellows at the institution 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 allows 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 estimate of time to degree 
completion. The report must be certified and submitted by the 
institution's designated Coordinating Official (CO) annually.
    Use of the Information: The completion report data provides NSF 
with accurate Fellow information regarding completion of the Fellows' 
graduate programs. The data is used by NSF in its assessment of the 
impact of its investments in the GRFP, and informs its program 
management.
    Estimate of Burden: Overall average time will be 15 minutes per 
Fellow (8,500 Fellows) for a total of 2,215 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 NSF Graduate Fellows (GRFP 
Institutions).
    Estimated Number of Responses per Report: One from each of the 271 
current GRFP institutions.
