Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting
Requirements for the Graduate Research
Fellowship Program.
OMB Number: 3145–0223.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2019.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to reinstate an information
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, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) and in STEM
education. The GRFP 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graduated, transferred, or withdrawn).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Graduated, Transferred, or Withdrawn.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
(8,250 Fellows) for a total of 2,063 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.
Dated: February 7, 2019.

Abstract
Overview of this information
collection: The Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Reporting
Module is a component of the NSF
Project Reports System that is designed
to gather information about students
participating in REU Sites and
Supplements projects. All NSF
Principal Investigators are required to
submit annual and final project reports
through Research.gov. If NSF cannot
collect information about undergraduate
participants in undergraduate research
experiences, NSF will have no other
means to consistently document the
number and diversity of participants,
types of participant involvement in the
research, and types of institutions
represented by the participants.
NSF is committed to providing
program stakeholders with formation
regarding the expenditure of taxpayer
funds on these types of activities, which
provide authentic research experiences
and related training for postsecondary
students in STEM fields.
Background: All NSF Principal
Investigators are required to use the
project reporting functionality in
Research.gov to report on progress,
accomplishments, participants, and
activities annually and at the conclusion
of their project. Information from annual
and final reports provides yearly
updates on project inputs, activities,
and outcomes for agency reporting
purposes. If project participants include
undergraduate students supported by
the Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Sites Program or
by an REU Supplement, then the
Principal Investigator and his or her
students are required to complete the
REU Reporting Module.
Respondents: Individuals (Principal
Investigators and REU undergraduate
student participants).
Number of Principal Investigator
Respondents: 2,300.
Burden on the Public: 383 total hours.
