SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
National Science Foundation’s (NSF)
Broader Impacts Review Criterion.
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Description: NSF is conducting an
evaluation to assess (1) how NSF’s
Broader Impacts review criterion is
applied across the Foundation and (2)
its effectiveness in meeting the goals
established in section 526 of the
America Creating Opportunities to
Meaningfully Promote Excellence in
Technology, Education, and Science
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C.
1862p–14) (America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010). This
evaluation is congressionally directed in
section 10341 of the Creating Helpful
Incentives to Produce Semiconductors
[CHIPS] for America Fund Act 2022. As
part of the evaluation, NSF is
conducting a literature review,
document analysis, extant data analysis,
interviews with NSF staff, and focus
groups with NSF principal investigators
(PIs) and reviewers. NSF will map
findings from the evaluation activities to
current NSF policies and practices to
identify strategies for improving how
NSF applies the review criterion.
The subject of this request is related
to the planned focus groups with PIs
and reviewers. The focus groups will
answer the following research questions
(RQs):
• RQ1. In what ways do the
interpretations of the Broader Impacts
review criterion among PIs and
reviewers vary, and what factors might
contribute to these variations?
• RQ2. How do external reviewers
assess the Broader Impact review
criterion?
• RQ3. In what ways do PIs and
reviewers perceive that variations in
interpretation and assessment can
advance or hinder the merit review of
proposals?
Findings from the focus groups
described in this request will be used to
inform interpretation of other evaluation
