Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting 

Requirements for the Engineering 

Research Centers (ERCs). 

OMB Number: 3145–0220. 

Expiration Date of Approval: August 

31, 2021. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection. 

Abstract: 

Proposed Project 

The Engineering Research Centers 

(ERC) program supports an integrated, 

interdisciplinary research environment 

to advance fundamental engineering 

knowledge and engineered systems; 

educate a globally competitive and 

diverse engineering workforce from K– 

12 on; and join academe and industry in 

partnership to achieve these goals. ERCs 

conduct world-class research through 

partnerships of academic institutions, 

national laboratories, industrial 

organizations, and/or other public/ 

private entities. New knowledge thus 

created is meaningfully linked to 

society. 

ERCs conduct world-class research 

with an engineered systems perspective 

that integrates materials, devices, 

processes, components, control 

algorithms and/or other enabling 

elements to perform a well-defined 

function. These systems provide a 

unique academic research and 

education experience that involves 

integrative complexity and 

technological realization. The 

complexity of the systems perspective 

includes the factors associated with its 

use in industry, society/environment, or 

the human body. 

ERCs enable and foster excellent 

education, integrate research and 

education, speed knowledge/technology 

transfer through partnerships between 

academe and industry, and prepare a 

more competitive future workforce. 

ERCs capitalize on diversity through 

participation in center activities and 

demonstrate leadership in the 

involvement of groups 

underrepresented in science and 

engineering. 

Centers are required to submit annual 

reports on progress and plans, which 

will be used as a basis for performance 

review and determining the level of 

continued funding. To support this 

review and the management of a Center, 

ERCs also are required to submit 

management and performance 

indicators annually to NSF via a data 

collection website that is managed by a 

technical assistance contractor. These 

indicators are both quantitative and 

descriptive and may include, for 

example, the characteristics of center 

personnel and students; sources of cash 

and in-kind support; expenditures by 

operational component; characteristics 

of industrial and/or other sector 

participation; research activities; 

education activities; knowledge transfer 

activities; patents, licenses; 

publications; degrees granted to 

students involved in Center activities; 

descriptions of significant advances and 

other outcomes of the ERC effort. Such 

reporting requirements will be included 

in the cooperative agreement which is 

binding between the academic 

institution and the NSF. 

Each Center’s annual report will 

address the following categories of 

activities: (1) Vision and impact, (2) 

strategic plan, (3) research program, (4) 

innovation ecosystem and industrial 

collaboration, (5) education, (6) 

infrastructure (leadership, management, 

facilities, diversity) and (7) budget 

issues. 

For each of the categories the report 

will describe overall objectives for the 

year, progress toward center goals, 

problems the Center has encountered in

12220 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 39 / Tuesday, March 2, 2021 / Notices 

making progress towards goals and how 

they were overcome, plans for the future 

and anticipated research and other 

barriers to overcome in the following 

year, and specific outputs and 

outcomes. 

Use of the Information: The data 

collected will be used for NSF internal 

reports, historical data, performance 

review by peer site visit teams, program 

level studies and evaluations, and for 

securing future funding for continued 

ERC program maintenance and growth. 

Estimate of Burden: 150 hours per 

center for 17 centers for a total of 2550 

hours. 

Respondents: Academic institutions. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Report: One from each of the 17 ERCs. 

Dated: February 24, 2021.
