(SBIR)/Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) Programs.
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection for post-award output and
outcome monitoring system.
Abstract: The NSF SBIR/STTR
programs focus on transforming
scientific discovery into products and
services with commercial potential and/
or societal benefit. Unlike fundamental
or basic research activities that focus on
scientific and engineering discovery
itself, the NSF SBIR/STTR programs
support the creation of opportunities to
move fundamental science and
engineering out of the lab and into the
market at scale, through startups and
small businesses representing deep
technology ventures. Here, deep
technologies refer to technologies based
on discoveries in fundamental science
and engineering. The NSF SBIR/STTR
programs are designed to provide nondilutive funding (financing that does not
involve equity, debt, or other elements
of the business ownership structure) at
the earliest stages of technology research
and development.
The NSF SBIR/STTR programs are
Congressionally mandated. By investing
federal research and development funds
into startups and small businesses, NSF
hopes to stimulate the creation of novel
products, services, and solutions in the
private sector, strengthen the role of
small business in meeting federal
research and development needs,
increase the commercial application of
federally-supported research results,
build a strong national economy, and
increase and develop the U.S.
workforce, especially by fostering and
encouraging participation of sociallyand economically-disadvantaged and
women-owned small businesses.
Both the NSF SBIR and NSF STTR
programs have two phases: Phase I and
Phase II. Phase I is a 6–12 month
experimental or theoretical investigation
that allows the awardees to determine
the scientific, technical, and commercial
merit of the idea or concept. Phase II
further develops the proposed concept,
building on the feasibility of the project
undertaken in Phase I, with a goal of
working toward the commercial launch
of the new product, process, or service
being developed.
The NSF SBIR/STTR programs
request the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of this clearance
that will allow the programs to improve
the rigor of our surveys for evaluations
and program monitoring, as well as to
initiate new data collections to monitor
the immediate, intermediate, and longterm outcomes of our investments by
periodically surveying the startup
businesses and their founders/cofounders involved in the businesses.
The clearance will allow the SBIR/STTR
programs to rigorously develop, test,
and implement survey instruments and
methodologies.
The primary objective of this
clearance is to allow the NSF SBIR/
STTR programs to collect
characteristics, output, and outcome
information from the startup companies
funded by the programs. This collection
will enable the evaluation of the
impacts of our investments in
technology translation and innovation
over time. The second, related objective
is to improve our questionnaires and/or
data collection procedures through pilot
tests and other survey methods used in
these activities. Under this clearance a
variety of surveys could be pre-tested,
modified, and used.
Following standard OMB
requirements, NSF will submit to OMB
an individual request for each survey
project we undertake under this
clearance. NSF will request OMB
approval in advance and provide OMB
with a copy of the questionnaire and
materials describing the project.
Data collected will be used for
planning, management, evaluation, and
audit purposes. Summaries of output
and outcome monitoring data are used
to respond to queries from Congress, the
Small Business Administration (SBA),
the public, NSF’s external merit
reviewers who serve as advisors,
including Committees of Visitors
(COVs), NSF’s Office of the Inspector
56985
General, and other pertinent
stakeholders. These data are needed for
effective administration, program
monitoring, evaluation, outreach/
marketing roadmaps, and for strategic
reviews and measuring attainment of
NSF’s program and strategic goals, as
identified by the President’s
Accountable Government Initiative, the
Government Performance and Results
Act Modernization Act of 2010,
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018, and NSF’s Strategic Plan.
All questions asked in the data
collection are questions that are NOT
included in the annual, final or
outcomes reports, and the intention is to
ask the grantees even beyond the period
of performance on voluntary basis in
order to capture impacts of the research
that occur during and beyond the life of
the award.
Grantees will be invited to submit
information on a periodic basis to
support the management of the NSF
SBIR/STTR investment portfolio. Once
the survey tool for a specific program is
tested, grantees will be invited to submit
these indicators to NSF via data
collection methods that include, but are
not limited to, online surveys,
interviews, focus groups, phone
interviews, etc. These indicators are
both quantitative and descriptive and
may include, for example, the
characteristics of project personnel,
sources of funding and support,
knowledge transfer and technology
translation activities, patents, licenses,
publications, descriptions of significant
advances, and other outcomes of the
funded efforts.
Use of the Information: The data
collected will be used for NSF internal
and external reports, historical data,
program level studies and evaluations,
and for securing future funding for the
maintenance and growth of the NSF
SBIR/STTR programs. Evaluation
designs could make use of metadata
associated with the award and other
characteristics to identify a comparison
group to evaluate the impact of the
program funding and other interesting
research questions.

Requirements for Materials Research
Science and Engineering Centers
(MRSECs).
OMB Number: 3145–0230.
Overview of This Information
Collection
The Materials Research Science and
Engineering Centers (MRSECs) Program
supports innovation in interdisciplinary
research, education, and knowledge
transfer. MRSECs build intellectual and
physical infrastructure within and
between disciplines, weaving together
knowledge creation, knowledge
integration, and knowledge transfer.
MRSECs 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.
MRSECs 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. MRSECs capitalize on
diversity through participation in center
activities and demonstrate leadership in
the involvement of groups
underrepresented in science and
engineering.
MRSECs are required to submit
annual reports on progress and plans,
which are used as a basis for
performance review and determining
the level of continued funding. To
support this review and the
management of a Center, MRSECs will
be required to develop a set of
management and performance
indicators for submission annually to
NSF via the Research Performance
