Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting 

Requirements for the Research 

Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) 

Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0224. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2025. 

Overview of Information Collection: 

NSF’s Research Experiences for 

Undergraduates (REU) program funds 

REU Site grants and REU Supplements 

to organizations to provide authentic 

research experiences and related 

training for postsecondary students in 

STEM fields. 

All NSF Principal Investigators in all 

programs are required to submit annual 

and final project reports through the 

NSF Project Reports System in 

Research.gov. The REU Program Module 

is a component of the NSF Project 

Reports System that is designed to 

gather basic information about the pool 

of student applicants and participants in 

REU Site and REU Supplement projects. 

The information allows NSF to assess 

the demand and allocate resources for 

REU student positions within each 

discipline, to analyze the types of 

academic institutions and the 

educational levels represented by the 

participants, and to identify the 

participants for inclusion in periodic 

program evaluations. 

NSF is committed to providing 

stakeholders with information regarding 

the expenditure of taxpayer funds on its 

investments in human capital, including 

activities such as REU Sites and REU 

Supplements. If NSF could not collect 

information about the students who 

participate in undergraduate research 

experiences, NSF would have no other 

means to consistently document the 

number and diversity of the participants 

or to identify the participants for 

inclusion in efforts that gauge the 

quality of programmatic activities and 

the long-term effects of the activities on 

the students. Without the REU Program 

Module, NSF also would not have 

information about the competitiveness 

of the REU opportunities, which 

informs the management of the 

program’s budget. 

Consultation With Other Agencies and 

the Public 

This information collection is specific 

to a subset of NSF grantees. NSF has not 

consulted with other agencies but has 

gathered information from its grantee 

community through attendance at PI 

conferences. A request for public 

comments will be solicited through 

announcement of data collection in the 

Federal Register. 

Background 

All NSF Principal Investigators are 

required to use the project reporting 

functionality in Research.gov to report 

on progress, accomplishments, 

participants, and activities annually and 

at the conclusion of their project. 

Information from annual and final 

reports provides yearly updates on 

project inputs, activities, and outcomes 

for use by NSF program officers in 

monitoring projects and for agency 

reporting purposes. 

If project participants include 

undergraduate students supported by a 

Research Experiences for 

Undergraduates (REU) Sites grant or by 

an REU Supplement, then the Principal 

Investigator is required to complete the 

REU Program Module in addition to the 

questions in NSF’s standard report 

template. 

Respondents: Individuals (Principal 

Investigators). 

Number of Principal Investigator 

Respondents: 3,900 annually. 

Burden on the Public: 650 total hours. 

Dated: January 29, 2025.
