SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: National Science 

Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (ICorpsTM) Program Pre-submission 

Executive Summary Form. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW. 

Abstract: The NSF Innovation Corps 

(I-Corps) Teams Program PreSubmission Executive Summary is an 

important component of the NSF ICorps 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 solicitationspecific 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 twopage (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 ICorps 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Public Engagement 

with Science Initiative. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–New. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Not 

applicable. 

Abstract: The Public Engagement with 

Science Initiative aims to engage the 

U.S. public in a national conversation 

on the value of science and engineering. 

We seek input from a broad cross 

section of the U.S. public on the 

questions and issues they would like 

researchers to address. Data collection, 

via an open format question, will gather 

insights from a diverse array of voices 

across the nation. This Initiative will 

meaningfully engage a broad crosssection of the U.S. public through 

external partners, trusted messengers, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
87432 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2024 / Notices 

and a broad array of communication 

channels. The Initiative will help NSF 

learn which science and engineering 

questions resonate most with the public. 

Promoting interactions between 

scientists and non-scientists about what 

scientists and engineers do and how this 

affects people’s everyday lives will 

increase public understanding of and 

interest in science. This will enhance 

interest in STEM education, workforce 

development and careers in STEM, and 

support for science and engineering 

research, all of which enhance NSF’s 

ability to fulfill its mission to promote 

the progress of science. This Initiative 

supports a core value of NSF, promoting 

inclusion. It is focused on reaching a 

broad cross-section of the U.S. 

population, including people and places 

who have historically been 

underrepresented in STEM. This 

Initiative also supports NSF’s FY25 

budget priorities of inspiring the 

missing millions and creating 

opportunities everywhere. 

Additionally, several Executive orders 

(E.O.s) underscore the importance of 

diversity and inclusion in science and 

engineering. E.O.s 13583 and 14035 

highlight the need for equity in the 

federal workforce, while E.O. 13985 

promotes racial equity across 

government programs. By aligning with 

these policies, this initiative aims to 

ensure diverse representation in STEM 

fields and incorporate the perspectives 

of all Americans. Furthermore, the 

Evidence Act further emphasizes the 

use of data-driven decision-making and 

evidence-based practices in federal 

programs. Data collected from this 

public engagement initiative can inform 

NSF’s strategies and actions, ensuring 

they are responsive to the U.S. public 

needs and perspectives. The Public 

Engagement with Science Initiative not 

only advances NSF’s mission but also 

supports the broader federal agenda for 

equity, inclusion, and representation in 

science and engineering. 

Respondents: Individuals. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: Approximately 1–2.5 

million. 

Burden on the Public: Estimated less 

than 5 minutes to submit a question. 

The estimated burden time is 

approximately 83,000 hours or less.
