SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: Data Collection for 

the Evaluation of the Historically Black 

Colleges and Universities—University 

(HBCU–UP) Program. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–0204. 

Expiration Date of Approval: October 

31, 2009. 

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) requests revision and 

extension of a currently approved data 

collection (e.g., interviews, surveys, 

focus groups, site visits protocols) 

measuring NSF’s contribution to the 

Nation’s Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities (HBCU) enterprise and 

overall science and engineering 

workforce. This continuation expands 

the data collection most recently 

approved through October 2009 (OMB 

3145–0204) beyond the student 

respondents to administrators, faculty 

and other participants, observers, or 

beneficiaries in undergraduate programs 

in Science, Technology, Engineering 

and Mathematics (STEM) at Historically 

Black Colleges and Universities. NSF is 

reissuing this notice because the first 

notice did not make clear that there 

would be both individual and 

institutional respondents to these data 

collections. 

NSF funds a program, called 

Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities Undergraduate Program 

(HBCU–UP), designed to help 

institutions strengthen the quality of 

their undergraduate STEM programs. 

For more information about HBCU–UP 

please visit the NSF Web site at: 

http://www.nsf.gov/funding/ 

pgm_summ.jsp?pims_

id=5481&org=HRD&from=home. 

The Urban Institute (UI) is conducting 

an evaluation of the HBCU–UP program 

which received initial approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) on 31 October 2006. 

Using a multiple-methods approach, 

UI researchers are conducting an 

evaluation to study the effectiveness of 

the program. The evaluation will 

include both process and summative 

components. The process component 

will document how different models 

within the Program are being 

implemented, thus helping evaluators to 

link strategies to outcomes, identify 

crucial components of different models, 

and contribute to the construction of 

general theories to guide future 

initiatives to increase the diversity of 

the STEM workforce. The summative 

component of the evaluation will focus 

on the extent to which the Program has 

produced outcomes that meet stated 

goals for students, faculty and 

institutions. The process evaluation 

relies mainly on qualitative data 

collected during case study site visits 

and interviews; the summative 

evaluation will rely primarily on data 

collected through a survey of graduates 

and faculty. 

NSF uses the UI analysis to prepare 

and publish reports and to respond to 

requests from Committees of Visitors, 

Congress and the Office of Management 

and Budget, particularly as related to 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) and the Program 

Effectiveness Rating Tool (PART). The 

HBCU–UP study’s broad questions 

include but are not limited to: 

What do individuals following postparticipation in HBCU–UP or other 

NSF-funded undergraduate education 

opportunities do? Do HBCU–UP or other 

NSF-funded opportunities provide 

graduates with the professional and/or 

research skills needed to work in 

science and engineering? Are HBCU–UP 

or other NSF-sponsored students and 

faculty satisfied that their NSF-funded 

experience advanced their careers in 

science or engineering? To what extent 

do HBCU–UP or other former-NSFsponsored graduates engage in the 

science and engineering workforce 

conduct inter- or multi-disciplinary 

science? Is there evidence of a legacy 

from NSF-funding that changed a 

degree-granting department beyond 

number of students supported and 

degrees awarded? To what extent have 

projects achieved or contributed to 

individual project goals or the NSF 

program goals? To what extent have 

NSF-funded projects or programs 

broadened participation by diverse 

individuals, particularly individuals 

traditionally underemployed in science 

or engineering, including but not 

limited to women, minorities, and 

persons-with-disabilities? 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, not-for-profit institutions, 

business or other for profit, and Federal, 

State, Local or Tribal Government. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 5000. 

Burden on the Public: 1250 hours. 

Dated: March 9, 2007.
