I. Abstract
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) is leading an
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle noise
cooperative human response study
involving multiple testing locations,
other US government agencies,
academia, and industry. Overarching
study goals are:
1. Obtain a wide range of UAM
vehicle sounds for use in human
response studies.
2. Provide insights into human
response of UAM vehicle noise that will
collectively be challenging for any
single agency or organization to acquire.
3. Create an open database of human
response to UAM vehicle noise to
support follow-on studies.
The UAM vehicle noise cooperative
human response study is currently
divided into two phases: A Feasibility
Phase (Phase 1) and Phase 2. Each phase
executes one or more psychoacoustic
tests. Phase 1 seeks to demonstrate and
refine the test methodology that will be
used in Phase 2. Since UAM vehicle
noise may be challenging to acquire as
stimuli, the Phase 1 psychoacoustic test
will use other types of aircraft noise as
stimuli. Phase 2 will focus on capturing
human response to UAM vehicle noise
stimuli.
This information collection is for the
Phase 1 psychoacoustic test. A remote
psychoacoustic testing platform will
allow recruited test subjects to listen to
NASA-provided test sound stimuli over
the internet using their own computers
and headphones and register their
annoyance rating for each.
The outcome of the Phase 1
psychoacoustic test is a demonstrated
capability for ranking of sound stimuli
by annoyance ratings from remote test
subjects.

II. Methods of Collection
Test subjects will electronically
indicate their annoyance rating to test
stimuli into an interface displayed on
their own computers.

Abstract: Every year the National
Science Foundation (NSF) funds
hundreds of Research Experience for
Undergraduates (REU) activities through
its REU program. The Directorate of
Computer and Information Science and
Engineering (CISE) is seeking to
evaluate the effectiveness of the CISE
REU program.
The REU program provides
undergraduate students at US higher
education institutions with
opportunities to work with faculty on a
research project. They can take the form
of REU Sites or REU Supplements. REU
Sites are based on independent
proposals to initiate and conduct
projects that engage a number of
students in research. REU Supplements
are included as a component of
proposals for new or renewal NSF
grants or cooperative agreements or may
be requested for ongoing NSF-funded
research projects.
By offering this opportunity to
undergraduate students, the REU
program seeks to expand student
participation in all kinds of research—
both disciplinary and
interdisciplinary—encompassing efforts
by individual investigators, groups,
centers, national facilities, and others.
The REU experience integrates research
and education to attract a diverse pool
of talented students into careers in
science and engineering, including
teaching and education research related
to science and engineering.
The current data collection project
intends to measure the impact of the
undergraduate REU Sites and REU
Supplements programs sponsored by
NSF CISE. The project will conduct
online surveys to track NSF CISE REU
participants over time—including pre-

program, post-program and one-year
post-program measurement—alongside
two comparison groups: (1) Students
participating in other undergraduate
research, and (2) students who do not
participate in research. The researchers
will supplement REU participants’
survey data with demographic and
background information collected via
the NSF Education and Training
Application (ETAP). The evaluation and
research questions guiding this project
include the following:
1. Who are the students reached
through the NSF REU Program, and how
do they compare to students
participating in other types of research
experiences and to students in the
broader CISE community?
2. How do CISE REU Sites and REU
Supplements differ from other research
experiences (e.g., other REUs,
internships, and independent research
projects)?
3. To what extent are the goals of the
NSF REU Program being met by the
individual projects within the program,
including recruitment and retention of
students in science and engineering
fields and increasing diversity in these
fields?
4. In what ways does participation in
REU Sites, REU Supplements,
internships, and/or other independent
research experiences impact student
attitudes and pathways to CISE careers
and other research experiences?
5. In what ways does participation in
the REU Sites and REU Supplements
impact recruitment and retention of
students who are underrepresented in
computing?
Ultimately, the findings from this data
collection will be used to understand
and improve the impact of the CISE
REU program, including increasing
recruitment and retention in science
and engineering and promoting a
diverse group of computing/STEM
careers.
Use of the information: The
information collected through this
survey will be used to evaluate the NSF
CISE REU Program.
Respondents: There will be three
types of survey respondents: NSF CISE
REU Site and Supplement participants,
a comparison group of undergraduate
students who participate in other, nonNSF REU research experiences, and a
comparison group of undergraduate
students who do not participate in
research.
NSF CISE REU participants will
include undergraduate students who
participate in REU projects in which the
project’s Principal Investigator chooses
to use NSF-sponsored program
evaluation services. Participants from

the two comparison groups will be
identified and recruited from a pool of
undergraduates in computing fields who
have participated in a prior survey of
the Computing Research Association
and have agreed to be contacted for
future data collection.
Estimated number of respondents:
The study’s data collection activities
will occur over a span of 21⁄3 years. It
is estimated that during this time, there
will be approximately 3,500 NSF CISE
REU survey respondents and 6,000
comparison group survey respondents,
for a total of 9,500 respondents.
Average time per reporting: Each
online survey is designed to be
completed in 20 minutes or less.
Frequency: Each NSF CISE REU
participant will be asked to complete
three surveys: (1) A pre-test before they
begin their REU project; (2) a post-test,
after their REU ends; and (3) a one-year
follow-up survey. Within the data
collection timeline for this project, this
will allow for two full data collection
cycles, plus a third subset of Year 3
summer REU participants who will only
complete a pre-test and a post-test, but
no follow-up survey. Each comparison
group participant, including both those
with a different research experience and
those with no research experience, will
be asked to complete a pre-test survey
and a follow-up survey occurring
approximately one year later. There will
be two full data collection cycles for
comparison group participants.
Estimate burden on the public: For
REU participants, there will be two full
cycles of data collection (pre-test, posttest, and follow-up) and one partial
cycle. It is expected that a total of 3,500
REU respondents will complete a 20minute pre-survey in the project. Of
these 3,500 REU participant
respondents, we expect that
approximately 70%, or 2,450, will
complete a 20-minute post-survey. For
the follow-up survey, only the REU
participants from the first two years of
the data collection would be able to
complete the survey within the time
range of the study (N=3,000). It is
expected that approximately 50% of
these respondents, or 1,500, will
complete a 20-minute one-year followup survey. This would result in a total
of 7,450 20-minute surveys completed
by REU respondents, for a total of 2,483
burden hours for this subset of
respondents.
For comparison group participations,
there will be two full cycles of data
collection. It is expected that a total of
6,000 respondents will complete a 20minute pre-survey in the project. Of
these 6,000 comparison group
respondents, approximately 50%, or
E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM

3,000, are expected to complete a 20minute one-year follow-up survey.
The total estimate for this collection
is 9,000 surveys completed by
comparison group respondents, for a
total of 3,000 burden hours. Together,
the total estimated survey burden for the
project is 5,483 hours. The calculations
are shown in Table 1.

undergraduate students who participate in other, non-NSF REU research
experiences, and a comparison group of undergraduate students who do
not participate in research.
NSF CISE REU participants will include undergraduate students who

Participants from the two comparison groups will be identified and
recruited from a pool of undergraduates in computing fields who have
participated in a prior survey of the Computing Research Association
and have agreed to be contacted for future data collection.
Estimated number of respondents: The study's data collection
activities will occur over a span of 2\1/3\ years. It is estimated that
during this time, there will be approximately 3,500 NSF CISE REU survey
respondents and 6,000 comparison group survey respondents, for a total
of 9,500 respondents.
Average time per reporting: Each online survey is designed to be
completed in 20 minutes or less.
Frequency: Each NSF CISE REU participant will be asked to complete
three surveys: (1) A pre-test before they begin their REU project; (2)
a post-test, after their REU ends; and (3) a one-year follow-up survey.
Within the data collection timeline for this project, this will allow

two full cycles of data collection (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up)
and one partial cycle. It is expected that a total of 3,500 REU
respondents will complete a 20-minute pre-survey in the project. Of
these 3,500 REU participant respondents, we expect that approximately
70%, or 2,450, will complete a 20-minute post-survey. For the follow-up
survey, only the REU participants from the first two years of the data
collection would be able to complete the survey within the time range
of the study (N=3,000). It is expected that approximately 50% of these
respondents, or 1,500, will complete a 20-minute one-year follow-up
survey. This would result in a total of 7,450 20-minute surveys
completed by REU respondents, for a total of 2,483 burden hours for
this subset of respondents.
For comparison group participations, there will be two full cycles
of data collection. It is expected that a total of 6,000 respondents
will complete a 20-minute pre-survey in the project. Of these 6,000
comparison group respondents, approximately 50%, or
[[Page 50380]]
3,000, are expected to complete a 20-minute one-year follow-up survey.
The total estimate for this collection is 9,000 surveys completed
by comparison group respondents, for a total of 3,000 burden hours.
Together, the total estimated survey burden for the project is 5,483
hours. The calculations are shown in Table 1.
