SUMMARY:
Abstract
Proposed Project: The Engineering
Research Centers (ERC) program
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
supports an integrated, interdisciplinary
research environment to advance
fundamental engineering knowledge
and engineered systems; educate a
globally competitive and diverse
engineering workforce from K–12 on;
and join academe and industry in
partnership to achieve these goals. ERCs
conduct world-class research through
partnerships of academic institutions,
national laboratories, industrial
organizations, and/or other public/
private entities. New knowledge thus
created is meaningfully linked to
society.
ERCs conduct world-class research
with an engineered systems perspective
that integrates materials, devices,
processes, components, control
algorithms and/or other enabling
elements to perform a well-defined
function. These systems provide a
unique academic research and
education experience that involves
integrative complexity and
technological realization. The
complexity of the systems perspective
includes the factors associated with its
use in industry, society/environment, or
the human body.
ERCs enable and foster excellent
education, integrate research and
education, speed knowledge/technology
transfer through partnerships between
academe and industry, and prepare a
more competitive future workforce.
ERCs capitalize on diversity through
participation in center activities and
demonstrate leadership in the
involvement of groups
underrepresented in science and
engineering.
Centers are required to submit annual
reports on progress and plans, which
will be used as a basis for performance
review and determining the level of
continued funding. To support this
review and the management of a Center,
ERCs also are required to submit
management and performance
indicators annually to NSF via a data
collection website that is managed by a
technical assistance contractor. These
indicators are both quantitative and
descriptive and may include, for
example, the characteristics of center
personnel and students; sources of cash
and in-kind support; expenditures by
operational component; characteristics
of industrial and/or other sector
participation; research activities;
education activities; knowledge transfer
activities; patents, licenses;
publications; degrees granted to
students involved in Center activities;
descriptions of significant advances and
other outcomes of the ERC effort. Such
reporting requirements will be included
in the cooperative agreement which is
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

binding between the academic
institution and the NSF.
Each Center’s annual report will
address the following categories of
activities: (1) Vision and impact, (2)
strategic plan, (3) research program, (4)
innovation ecosystem and industrial
collaboration, (5) education, (6)
infrastructure (leadership, management,
facilities, diversity) and (7) budget
issues.
For each of the categories the report
will describe overall objectives for the
year, progress toward center goals,
problems the Center has encountered in
making progress towards goals and how
they were overcome, plans for the future
and anticipated research and other
barriers to overcome in the following
year, and specific outputs and
outcomes.
Use of the Information: The data
collected will be used for NSF internal
reports, historical data, performance
review by peer site visit teams, program
level studies and evaluations, and for
securing future funding for continued
ERC program maintenance and growth.
Estimate of Burden: 150 hours per
center for 17 centers for a total of 2,550
hours.
Respondents: Academic institutions.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Report: One from each of the 17 ERCs.
Dated: April 12, 2018.
