SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the

NSF Summer Programs in Japan, the

NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

in Japan, and the NSF–CGP Science

Fellowships Program.

OMB Number: 3145–New.

Expiration Date of Approval: Not

applicable.

Type of Request: Intent to seek

approval to carry out a new information

collection for one year.

Abstract: ‘‘Evaluation of the NSF

Summer Programs in Japan, the NSF

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in

Japan, and the NSF–CGP Science

Fellowships Program.’’

Proposed Project: The National

Science Foundation (NSF), through its

East Asia and Pacific Program within

the Division of International Programs,

manages a suite of programs designed to

encourage and provide international

research experiences for American

scientists and engineers with Japanese

colleagues. This suite of programs

includes the NSF–CGP Science

Fellowships and the Postdoctoral

Research Fellowships in Japan for

Ph.D.—holding scientists, and the

Summer Institute in Japan and the

Monbusho Summer Program for U.S.

Graduate Students in Science and

Engineering.

These Programs provide opportunities

for improvements in cultural sensitivity

and in the knowledge of foreign

scientific community infrastructure. The

international collaborative experiences

provided through the Programs may be

‘‘catalytic’’ by bringing scientists from a

larger global pool together in

‘‘discovery’’ and ‘‘connection,’’ and by

the American participants’ sharing their

newly-acquired knowledge, experiences

and impressions with the domestic

scientific community.

The purpose of the proposed program

evaluation is to assess the Programs

within the context of both their

individually-stated objectives and the

greater NSF-wide objectives. The tenth

anniversary this year of the Summer

Institute in Japan marks an appropriate

time for a longitudinal study of program

effectiveness and success, particularly

with regard to the effect of an early

international experience on developing

research careers. The JSPS and STA

Postdoctoral Fellowships and the NSF–

CGP Science Fellowships have a long

history (more than a decade) by which

their impact on both individual careers

and the scientific community can be

assessed.

Use of the Information: The

information will be used by NSF to

assess the extent to which these

approaches to developing international

collaborations among young and

experienced US and Asian researchers

are achieving the intended

programmatic goals and are consistent

with the specific outcome goals defined

in the context of the current NSF

Strategic Plan required by the

Government Performance and Results

Act (GPRA) of 1993. Among NSF’s

outcome goals, the most relevant to its

investments in developing

collaborations with Asian researchers

are: Promoting discoveries at and across

the frontier of science and engineering;

facilitating connections between

discoveries and their use in service to

society; developing a diverse, globally

oriented workforce of scientists and

engineers.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average 30 minutes per

response.

Respondents: Individuals.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Form: 1040.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 520 hours—1040

respondents at 1/2 hour per response.

Frequency of Responses: One time.

Dated: October 2, 2000.

Reports Clearance Officer.
