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 NSF-funded SEES and comparable nonSEES 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.
Comments submitted in response to this
Notice will be summarized and included in
the request for Office of Management and
Budget approval of the ICR; they will also
become a matter of public record.
