Proposed Project 

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation Survey of Science and 

Engineering Research Facilities is a 

Congressionally mandated (Pub. L. 99– 

159; NSF Act of 1950, as amended; 

America COMPETES Reauthorization 

Act of 2010), biennial survey that has 

been conducted since 1986. As required 

by law, the survey collects data on the 

amount, condition, costs of, and 

universities need for, the physical 

facilities used to conduct research in 

individual science and engineering 

fields. It was expected by Congress that 

this survey would provide the data 

necessary to describe the status and 

needs of science and engineering 

research facilities and to formulate 

appropriate solutions to documented 

needs. Data on computing and 

networking capacity, often termed 

‘‘cyberinfrastructure’’ were collected 

from 2003 to 2013. These questions will 

be eliminated from future 

questionnaires based on a review by 

NCSES that indicated the data did not 

provide clear and useful metrics for 

measuring cyberinfrastructure. 

Use of the Information: Analysis of 

the Facilities Survey data provide 

updated information on the status of 

scientific and engineering research 

facilities and capabilities. The 

information is used by Federal policy 

makers, planners, and budget analysts 

in making policy decisions, as well as 

by institutional academic officials, the 

scientific/engineering establishment, 

and state agencies and legislatures that 

fund universities. 

Expected Respondents: The Facilities 

Survey is a census of academic 

institutions that performed at least $1 

million in separately budgeted science 

and engineering research and 

development in the previous fiscal year. 

In the most recent FY 2013 Facilities 

Survey, a census of 588 academic 

institutions was conducted. The 

sampling frame for the survey was the 

FY 2012 Higher Education Research and 

Development Survey conducted by the 

National Center for Science and 

Engineering Statistics. Data are collected 

through a Web-based interface, although 

institutions have the option of printing 

and completing a PDF that can be sent 

by mail. 

Estimate of Burden: The Facilities 

Survey will be sent to approximately 

600 academic institutions for the FY 

2015 and FY 2017 data collection 

cycles. The completion time per 

academic institution is expected to 

average 19 hours based on completion 

time estimates provided by all survey 

participants in the FY 2013 survey. This 

would result in an estimated burden of 

11,210 hours per cycle.
