SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: NSF Research Experience and Mentoring Survey. OMB Number: 3145–0261. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to renew an information collection. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 90771 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 116 hours annually. 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: 351. 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: Annually.
