Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 295, Arlington, Virginia 22230 or send email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting Requirements for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. OMB Number: 3145-0224. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval extend, with revisions, an information collection. Abstract: Overview of this information collection: The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Reporting Module is a component of the NSF Project Reports System that is designed to gather information about students participating in REU Sites and Supplements projects. All NSF Principal Investigators are required to submit annual and final project reports through Research.gov. If NSF cannot collect information about undergraduate participants in undergraduate research experiences, NSF will have no other means to consistently document the number and diversity of participants, types of participant involvement in the research, and types of institutions represented by the participants. NSF is committed to providing program stakeholders with formation regarding the expenditure of taxpayer funds on these types of activities, which provide authentic research experiences and related training for postsecondary students in STEM fields. Consult with Other Agencies & the Public: NSF has not consulted with other agencies but has gathered information from its grantee community through attendance at PI conferences. A request for public comments will be solicited through announcement of data collection in the Federal Register. Background: All NSF Principal Investigators are required to use the project reporting functionality in Research.gov to report on progress, accomplishments, participants, and activities annually and at the conclusion of their project. Information from annual and final reports provides yearly updates on project inputs, activities, and outcomes for agency reporting purposes. If project participants include undergraduate students supported by the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites Program or by an REU Supplement, then the Principal Investigator and his or her students are required to complete the REU Reporting Module. Respondents: Individuals (Principal Investigators and REU undergraduate student participants). [[Page 76589]] Number of Principal Investigator Respondents: 2,300. Burden on the Public: 383 total hours. Dated: December 4, 2015. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
