SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: NCSES Generic

OMB Control Number: 3145–0174. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

July 31, 2022. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend an information 

collection for three years. 

Abstract: Established within the 

National Science Foundation by the 

America COMPETES Reauthorization 

Act of 2010 § 505, codified in the 

National Science Foundation Act of 

1950, as amended, the National Center 

for Science and Engineering Statistics 

(NCSES)—one of 13 principal federal 

statistical agencies—serves as a central 

Federal clearinghouse for the collection, 

interpretation, analysis, and 

dissemination of objective data on 

science, engineering, technology, 

research and development for use by 

practitioners, researchers, policymakers, 

and the public. NCSES conducts about 

a dozen nationally representative 

surveys to obtain the data for these 

purposes. The Generic Clearance will be 

used to ensure that the highest quality 

data are obtained from these surveys. 

State of the art methodology will be 

used to develop, evaluate, and test 

questionnaires and survey concepts as 

well as to improve survey and statistical 

methodology. This may include field or 

pilot tests of questions for future largescale surveys, as needed. The Generic 

Clearance will also be used to test and 

evaluate data dissemination tools and 

methods, in an effort to improve access 

for data users. 

Use of the Information: The purpose 

of these studies is to use the latest and 

most appropriate methodology to 

improve NCSES surveys, evaluate new 

data collection efforts, and evaluate data 

dissemination tools and mechanisms. 

Methodological findings may be 

presented externally in technical papers
