SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: NSF Research

Expiration Date of Approval:

Type of Request: Intent to seek

Abstract: The Research Experience
and Mentoring (REM) Program supports
the active involvement of research
participants (RPs) that include high
school students, Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
teachers, undergraduate STEM students,
faculty, and veterans, in hands-on
research in order to bring participants
into contact with STEM mentors and
expose them to a summer research
experience. Research participants are
recruited as cohorts in order to facilitate
mentoring and research activities,
community building, and provide
mutual student support.
The main goals of the REM Program
are to provide research experiences and
mentored opportunities to STEM
students and/or educators that may
ultimately enhance their career and
academic trajectories while enhancing
NSF research projects by the Emerging
Frontiers in Research and Innovation
(EFRI) program, the Engineering
Research Centers (ERC), and the
Industry-University Cooperative
Research Centers (IUCRC). The REM
Program may also enable the building of
long-term collaborative partnerships
among EFRI-,ERC-, and ICUCRsupported researchers, community
colleges, local four-year colleges, and
local school districts.
A REM supplement of maximum of
$110,000 over a 1-year period. Activities
that are innovative and site-specific are
encouraged. Effective REM programs
typically have many of the following
characteristics, which are provided here
as general guidelines: mentorship
training for researchers and affiliated
graduate students or postdoctoral
researchers; well-designed, introductory
training for RPs; six to ten weeks of
summer research (full time); continued

mentorship of RPs throughout the
academic year; participation of RPs in
research team meetings and topicrelated conferences or workshops; and
guidance for RPs in co-authoring
publications and/or posters.
NSF is requesting OMB approval for
the REM program to collect information
from past and present research
participants and mentors. The REM
program seeks to collect data from
research participants and mentors to: (1)
inform REM programming (e.g., to
identify areas of growth); and (2)
conduct retrospective analysis of the
REM program to assess the success of
REM historically.
Use of the Information: The
information collected is primarily for
the use of the NSF REM program to
assess the success of the program and
for informing decisions NSF will make
regarding future programming and
support provided to research
participants.
Estimate burden on the public:
Estimated at 180 hours for a one-time
collection.
Respondents: All REM research
participants and mentors will be invited
to respond to the survey. The REM
research participants include high
school students, STEM teachers,
undergraduate STEM students, faculty,
and veterans.
Estimated number of respondents:
540 (representing a 60% response rate).
Average Time per Reporting: The
online survey is comprised primarily of
closed-ended questions and is designed
to be completed by respondents in
under 20 minutes.
Frequency: One-time collection.
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

Background
The Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive
Positions, Standard Form 85 (SF 85) is
an information collection completed by
applicants for, or incumbents of, Federal
Government civilian positions, or
positions in private entities performing
work for the Federal Government under
contractor. The collection is used as the
basis of information for background
investigations to establish that such
individuals are:
• Suitable for employment or
retention in Federal employment in a
low risk, non-sensitive position, or fit
for employment or retention in Federal
employment in the excepted service
when the duties to be performed are
equivalent to a low risk, non-sensitive
position;
• Fit to perform work on behalf of the
Federal Government pursuant to the
Government contract, when the duties
to be performed are equivalent to a low
risk, non-sensitive position;
• Eligible for physical and logical
access to federally controlled facilities
or information systems, when the duties
to be performed by the individual are
equivalent to the duties performed by an
employee in a low risk, non-sensitive
position.
For applicants, the SF 85 is used only
after a conditional offer of employment
has been made. eApplication (eApp) is
a web-based system application that
houses the SF 85. A variable in
assessing burden hours is the nature of
the electronic application. The
electronic application includes
branching questions and instructions
which provide for a tailored collection
from the respondent based on varying
factors in the respondent’s personal
history. The burden on the respondent
is reduced when their personal history
