SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the 

National Science Foundation’s (NSF) 

Broader Impacts Review Criterion. 

OMB Number: 3145–NEW. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection. 

Description: NSF is conducting an 

evaluation to assess (1) how NSF’s 

Broader Impacts review criterion is 

applied across the Foundation and (2) 

its effectiveness in meeting the goals 

established in section 526 of the 

America Creating Opportunities to 

Meaningfully Promote Excellence in 

Technology, Education, and Science 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C. 

1862p–14) (America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010). This 

evaluation is congressionally directed in 

section 10341 of the Creating Helpful 

Incentives to Produce Semiconductors 

[CHIPS] for America Fund Act 2022. As 

part of the evaluation, NSF is 

conducting a literature review, 

document analysis, extant data analysis, 

interviews with NSF staff, and focus 

groups with NSF principal investigators 

(PIs) and reviewers. NSF will map 

findings from the evaluation activities to 

current NSF policies and practices to 

identify strategies for improving how 

NSF applies the review criterion. 

The subject of this request is related 

to the planned focus groups with PIs 

and reviewers. The focus groups will 

answer the following research questions 

(RQs): 

• RQ1. In what ways do the 

interpretations of the Broader Impacts 

review criterion among PIs and 

reviewers vary, and what factors might 

contribute to these variations? 

• RQ2. How do external reviewers 

assess the Broader Impact review 

criterion? 

• RQ3. In what ways do PIs and 

reviewers perceive that variations in 

interpretation and assessment can 

advance or hinder the merit review of 

proposals? 

Findings from the focus groups 

described in this request will be used to 

inform interpretation of other evaluation
