SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation 
Corps (I-Corps<SUP>TM</SUP>) Program Pre-submission Executive Summary 
Form.
    OMB Control No.: 3145-NEW.
    Abstract: The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams Program Pre-
Submission Executive Summary is an important component of the NSF I-
Corps Teams pre-submission process and conveys information needed to 
direct the proposed team project to the appropriate NSF Program 
Director (PD) for review and possible proposal submission invitation. 
This Executive Summary (ES) is to be submitted by the applying team to 
the cognizant I-Corps Team's PD outlining solicitation-specific aspects 
of the project (such as proposed team members, technology, commercial 
application and NSF lineage). In the past, this ES was submitted via 
email as an attached two-page (maximum) document and was often in 
varying formats or missing some parts of the required ES elements. The 
NSF I-Corps Teams Executive Summary Form captures the same requested 
information, as outlined in NSF I-Corps Teams Program solicitation, but 
all within one secure, web-based form. In specific, the form collects 
submitting team member information (composition, roles and a brief 
description of each member's qualifications), Principal Investigator 
(PI) information (and a brief description of their connection to the 
team), NSF lineage (relevant current or previous NSF awards), brief 
descriptions of the core technology, the potential commercial 
application, and the current commercialization plan for the proposed 
technology. If the proposed I-Corps Team is applying based on 
participation in a local or regional NSF I-Corps Hub, Node or Site 
training session, the form will provide fields for the applying team to 
complete regarding the associated I-Corps Hub, Node or Site senior 
member's contact information (as a reference), the date of 
participation, and location of the associated Hub, Node or Site 
program.
    Respondents: Investigators who submit proposals to NSF's I-Corps 
Teams Program.
    Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 1,500.
    Burden on the Public: 1 hour (per response) for an annual total of 
1,500 hours.

    Dated: October 28, 2024.
