Research and Education in Materials

Expiration Date of Approval:

Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to renew an information
collection.
Overview of this Information
Collection: The Partnerships for
Research and Education in Materials
(PREM) aims to enhance diversity in
materials research and education by
stimulating the development of formal,
long-term, collaborative research and
education relationships between
minority-serving colleges and
universities and centers, institutes and
facilities supported by the NSF Division
of Materials Research (DMR). With this
collaborative model PREMs build
intellectual and physical infrastructure
within and between disciplines,
weaving together knowledge creation,
knowledge integration, and knowledge
transfer. PREMs 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, with an
emphasis on enhancing diversity.
PREMs enable and foster excellent
education, integrate research and
education, and create bonds between
learning and inquiry so that discovery
and creativity more fully support the
learning process. PREMs capitalize on
diversity through participation and
collaboration in center activities and
demonstrate leadership in the
involvement of groups
underrepresented in science and
engineering.
PREMs will be 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 the award PREMs will
be required to develop a set of
management and performance
indicators for submission annually to
NSF via the Research Performance
Project Reporting module in
Research.gov. These indicators are both
quantitative and descriptive and may
include, for example, the characteristics
of personnel and students; sources of
financial support and in-kind support;
expenditures by operational component;
research activities; education activities;
patents, licenses; publications; degrees
granted to students involved in PREM
activities; descriptions of significant
advances and other outcomes of the
PREM effort.

Each PREM’s annual report will
include the following categories of
activities: (1) Research, (2) education (3)
outreach, (4) partnerships, (5) diversity,
(6) management, and (7) budget issues.
For each of the categories the report
will describe overall objectives for the
year, problems the PREM has
encountered in making progress towards
goals, anticipated problems in the
following year, and specific outputs and
outcomes.
PREMs are required to file a final
report through the RPPR and external
technical assistance contractor. Final
reports contain similar information and
metrics as annual reports but are
retrospective.
Use of the Information: NSF will use
the information to continue funding of
PREMs, and to evaluate the progress of
the program.
Estimate of Burden: 50 hours per
PREM for 32 PREMs for a total of 1,600
hours.
Respondents: Non-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Report: One from each of the fifteen
PREMs.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
