SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Innovative 

Technology Experiences for Students

Evaluation for the National Science 

Foundation 

OMB Number: 3145–New. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Not 

applicable. 

Type of request: Initial clearance. 

Abstract: Innovative Technology 

Experiences for Students and Teachers 

(ITEST) is a National Science 

Foundation program that responds to 

current concerns and projections about 

the growing demand for professionals 

and information technology workers in 

the U.S. and seeks solutions to help 

ensure the breadth and depth of the 

STEM workforce. Information 

technologies are integral to both the 

workplace and everyday activities of 

most Americans. They are part of how 

people learn, how they interact with 

each other and information, and how 

they represent and understand their 

world. Attaining a basic understanding 

of these technologies and mastery of 

essential technical skills is a 

requirement for anyone to benefit from 

innovation in the modern world. The 

technological growth of the nation 

depends on a technologically literate 

citizenry. ITEST is designed to increase 

the opportunities for students and 

teachers to learn about, experience, and 

use information technologies within the 

context of science, technology, 

engineering, and mathematics (STEM), 

including Information Technology (IT) 

courses. Supported projects are 

intended to provide opportunities for 

K–12 children and teachers to build the 

skills and knowledge needed to advance 

their study, and to function and to 

contribute in a technologically rich 

society. Additionally, exposure to 

engaging applications of IT is a means 

to stimulate student interest in the field 

and an important precursor to the 

academic preparation needed to pursue 

IT careers. 

The ITEST program evaluation will 

characterize the variety of ITEST 

projects, measure the rigor of individual 

project evaluations, estimate outcomes 

for students and teachers involved in a 

sample of projects, and identify 

exemplary project models. In order to 

accomplish these tasks, the ITEST 

program evaluation will employ a 

mixed-method approach including case 

studies, quasi-experiments, and 

extensive document review. This 

information collection request will 

include a series of protocols to be used 

while conducting site visit interviews, a 

list of documents to be requested during 

visits, and a student-survey instrument 

to measure project outcomes. 

Estimate of Burden: 

Respondents: Individuals. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

984. 

Estimated Burden Hours on 

Respondents: 984 hours. 

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; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
