SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: National Science
Foundation (NSF) Directorate for
Technology, Innovation and
Partnerships (TIP) Reviewer Request
Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145–New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Abstract: NSF has advanced the full
spectrum of fundamental research and
education in all fields of science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics, or STEM, for more than 70
years—from foundational, curiositydriven research that has led to new
knowledge about our world, to useinspired, solution-oriented research that
has directly impacted people’s everyday
lives. At every stage, investments across
this spectrum have been deeply
intertwined.
NSF’s Directorate for Technology,
Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP)
doubles down on the agency’s
commitment to support use-inspired
research and the translation of research
results to the market and society. In
doing so, the new directorate
strengthens the intense interplay
between foundational and use-inspired
work, enhancing the full cycle of
discovery and innovation. This is best
illustrated through the programs within
the TIP Directorate portfolio—America’s
Seed Fund, Convergence Accelerator,
Innovation Corps (I-Corps), Partnerships
for Innovation, Pathways to Enable
Open-Source Ecosystems, and Regional
Innovation Engines—all reflect and
represent the various phases of the
technology transition/translation
spectrum, while accentuating the core
theme of use-inspired and solutionoriented research.
Due to the specialized nature of these
programs, it is necessary for the TIP
Directorate to refine its reviewer
recruitment efforts and reach out to
individuals that have the adequate and
appropriate combinations of expertise
and experience to serve as proposal
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
reviewers for these programs. To recruit
cognizant reviewers that have the set of
unique skills and credentials—ones that
meet and align well with the needs of
these programs, the NSF TIP Directorate
requests the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of a
customizable, directorate-wide Reviewer
Request Form to collect information that
is germane and bespoke to each program
within the TIP Directorate.
There are two parts to the Form. The
first part is similar to the agency-wide
Reviewer Request Form (NSF 428A), in
that information pertaining to the
individual’s name, contact information,
demographics, education level, and
professional experience will be asked.
The second part will vary based on the
program, as some programs in TIP are
more topically-driven, and/or themefocused than others. The information
collected on the second part
encompasses, but is not limited to, the
following areas: type of employing
institutions, areas of expertise,
provision of the individual’s LinkedIn
or professional web page, and potential
conflict of interests. Such data
collection will enable the Program
Directors to better assess whether the
combination of experience, expertise,
and skills of the interested individuals
are adequate and well-suited to help the
programs to evaluate proposals through
the merit review criteria as set forth by
the agency and the National Science
Board. (For more information on NSF
merit review principles and criteria,
please consult the NSF Proposal &
Award Policies & Procedures Guides
(PAPPG), Chapter III.A.)
Following standard OMB
requirements, NSF will require OMB
approval in advance and provide OMB
with a copy of the form containing these
questions and/or data fields. Data
collected will be used strictly for
reviewer recruiting purposes. The data
collection burden to the individuals will
be limited to no more than 10 minutes
of the respondents’ time in each
instance.
Respondents: The respondents
generally have the education and/or
experience level commensurate to a
university assistant professor.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 3,500.
Burden on the Public: The overall
annualized cost to the respondents is
estimated to be $25,718. The following
table shows the annualized estimate of
costs to the respondents who generally
have the education and/or experience
level commensurate to university
assistant professors. This estimated
hourly rate is based on a report from the
American Association of University

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate

Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145-New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
Abstract: NSF has advanced the full spectrum of fundamental
research and education in all fields of science, technology,
engineering and mathematics, or STEM, for more than 70 years--from
foundational, curiosity-driven research that has led to new knowledge
about our world, to use-inspired, solution-oriented research that has
directly impacted people's everyday lives. At every stage, investments
across this spectrum have been deeply intertwined.
NSF's Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships
(TIP) doubles down on the agency's commitment to support use-inspired
research and the translation of research results to the market and
society. In doing so, the new directorate strengthens the intense
interplay between foundational and use-inspired work, enhancing the
full cycle of discovery and innovation. This is best illustrated
through the programs within the TIP Directorate portfolio--America's
Seed Fund, Convergence Accelerator, Innovation Corps (I-Corps),
Partnerships for Innovation, Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems,
and Regional Innovation Engines--all reflect and represent the various
phases of the technology transition/translation spectrum, while
accentuating the core theme of use-inspired and solution-oriented
research.
Due to the specialized nature of these programs, it is necessary
for the TIP Directorate to refine its reviewer recruitment efforts and
reach out to individuals that have the adequate and appropriate
combinations of expertise and experience to serve as proposal reviewers
for these programs. To recruit cognizant reviewers that have the set of
unique skills and credentials--ones that meet and align well with the
needs of these programs, the NSF TIP Directorate requests the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a customizable, directorate-
wide Reviewer Request Form to collect information that is germane and
bespoke to each program within the TIP Directorate.
There are two parts to the Form. The first part is similar to the
agency-wide Reviewer Request Form (NSF 428A), in that information
pertaining to the individual's name, contact information, demographics,
education level, and professional experience will be asked. The second
part will vary based on the program, as some programs in TIP are more
topically-driven, and/or theme-focused than others. The information
collected on the second part encompasses, but is not limited to, the
following areas: type of employing institutions, areas of expertise,
provision of the individual's LinkedIn or professional web page, and
potential conflict of interests. Such data collection will enable the
Program Directors to better assess whether the combination of
experience, expertise, and skills of the interested individuals are
adequate and well-suited to help the programs to evaluate proposals
through the merit review criteria as set forth by the agency and the
National Science Board. (For more information on NSF merit review

Following standard OMB requirements, NSF will require OMB approval
in advance and provide OMB with a copy of the form containing these
questions and/or data fields. Data collected will be used strictly for
