collect information from members of the
INCLUDES National Network.
Why you are collecting it: The
INCLUDES Coordination Hub seeks to
collect data from INCLUDES National
Network members to: (1) shape
INCLUDES Coordination Hub’s
activities (e.g., to identify support needs
in the coming year; to inform Shared
Measures and Network communication,
engagement, learning, and community
building, and expansion goals); (2)
assess the development and progress of
the INCLUDES National Network; and
(3) inform the INCLUDES Coordination
Hub’s assessment of progress toward its
theory of change.
What information is being collected:
The collected information will include
information on how and why
respondents engage with the Network,
each respondent’s perspectives on
desired outcomes and ways in which
the INCLUDES National Network is
informing and supporting their efforts to
change systems to broaden participation
in STEM, in addition to full name,
affiliated organizations, email addresses,
and home states. Personally identifiable
information (PII) is collected primarily
to categorize responses based on
respondents’ roles in the INCLUDES
National Network. PII will be accessed
only by the INCLUDES Coordination
Hub. Any public data reporting will be
in aggregate form, and any personal
identifiers will be removed.
Respondents: All members of the
INCLUDES National Network will be
invited to respond to the survey. The
INCLUDES National Network is
comprised of individuals who are
interested in or working directly to
broaden participation in STEM. Some of
these individuals are INCLUDES
grantees; others have received NSF
awards outside of INCLUDES or pursue
broadening participation in STEM with
support from other sources, including
grants from federal, state, philanthropic,
or business entities. Some are
representatives of these various types of
funders or businesses, such as program
officers at NSF, other federal agencies,
and private foundations, as well as
interested individuals unaffiliated with
particular grant programs.
Estimated number of respondents:
840 (representing a 21% response rate).
Use of the Information: The
information collected is primarily for
the use of the INCLUDES Coordination
Hub to track the health, development,
expansion, and diversification of the
Network, understand the utility of the
INCLUDES Coordination Hub in
supporting Network members’ success,
and for informing design decisions the
INCLUDES Coordination Hub will make

regarding future programming and
support provided to National Network
members.
Estimate burden on the public:
Estimated at 280 hours, per year, for the
duration of the Coordination Hub’s
cooperative agreement with NSF. It is
beneficial for NSF and the Coordination
Hub to have access to this information
annually to track progress toward the
INCLUDES Initiative’s goals of
supporting constituencies in identifying
shared goals and objectives and
understanding National Network
members’ impact.
Average Time per Reporting: The
online survey is comprised primarily of
closed-ended questions and is designed
to be completed by respondents in
approximately 25 minutes.
Frequency: Once per year for the
duration of the INCLUDES Coordination
Hub’s cooperative agreement with NSF.
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 respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Please submit one copy of your
comments by only one method. All
submissions received must include the
agency name and collection name
identified above for this information
collection. Commenters are strongly
encouraged to transmit their comments
electronically via email. Comments,
including any personal information
provided become a matter of public
record. They will be summarized and/
or included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request.
