Title of Collection: The Evaluation of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. OMB Number: 3145–NEW. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 May 30, 2024 Jkt 262001 Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to establish an information collection for evaluating the NSF’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. Abstract: The National Science Foundation (NSF) has been committed to broadening participation of underrepresented groups and diverse institutions in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through an array of means. One way that NSF supports this is through its Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (https://www.nsfnoyce.org) (Noyce Program), which was authorized in 2002 under the National Science Foundation Authorization Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 368) and reauthorized in 2007 under the America COMPETES Act (frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/ getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_public_ laws&docid=f:publ069.110.pdf) (Pub. L. 110–69). The program provides funding to higher education institutions via (a) scholarships, (b) stipends, and (c) other means of programmatic support to recruit and prepare science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and other professionals to become K–12 STEM teachers. The overall goal of the Noyce Program is to ‘‘increase the number of K–12 teachers with strong STEM content knowledge who teach in high-need school districts’’ (The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (nsfnoyce.org)). Specifically, the Noyce Program’s goals include aiding in establishing and facilitating the awarding of scholarships, fellowships, funding, and programming that help to recruit, train, and retain K–12 STEM teachers for high-need school districts. Additional Noyce Program goals include supporting research on K–12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts to understand patterns of teacher retention and effectiveness in these settings. Program objectives for the Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program include increasing the (i) number and (ii) diversity of students from groups underrepresented in STEM fields who pursue careers in K–12 STEM teaching, especially in high-need school districts. The NSF STEM Education (EDU) Directorate requests the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of this clearance to initiate new data collections to be conducted as part of an external evaluation of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. These collections, to be conducted by the evaluation contractor, include: PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47181 Demographic Questionnaire. A onetime, web-based survey of selected individuals who have been involved in various aspects of NSF’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program from FY2014 to FY2024 (i.e., PIs, program coordinators, faculty, scholars, fellows, alumni, K–12 school leaders, external evaluators) as well as representative individuals who are eligible for Noyce funding but have not received it. The purpose of this questionnaire is to (a) ensure that the participants recruited are diverse, and (b) support the qualitative data analytic approaches. Information about the respondents that will be captured within the questionnaire will include demographic data (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender), length of time with the institution, and experience with the Noyce Program (as applicable). The survey data will enable NSF to supplement the information gleaned from the interviews and focus groups, encouraging further understanding of what is working well and growth opportunities for the Noyce Program. Interviews with Principal Investigators. Interviews with a purposive sample of up to 50 PIs or CoPIs who had NSF’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program funded between FY2014 and FY2024. The interviews will be conducted either inperson during the annual Noyce Summit (in 2025) or using a virtual meeting platform at a time convenient for the respondents. The interviews will elicit information about how the Noyce Program can support the STEM teacher preparation field, the impact of the award, barriers and facilitators to applying for Noyce funding, and how changes to the solicitation over the past 10 years have impacted the perception of the Noyce award, as well as perceptions of the merit review process. This information will be triangulated with the other data collected as well as information from the review of documents to provide a holistic understanding of the context of the Noyce Program, what is working well, and growth opportunities. Interviews with Eligible Individuals Who Have Not Received NSF’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program Funding. Interviews with a purposive sample of up to 20 representatives who are eligible for Noyce funding but have not received it. This sample includes individuals who have never applied for Noyce funding and those who have applied for but not received Noyce funding. The interviews will be conducted using a virtual meeting platform at a time convenient for the respondents, and will elicit information E:\FR\FM\31MYN1.SGM 31MYN1
