the agency might perform an effective 

assessment on its Grant Administration 

Programs, ONDCP’s policy development 

process, and ONDCP’s drug budget 

review and certification processes, with 

the goal of embedding equity 

throughout agency practices and 

policies. Submissions might consider 

questions such as: 

• Jurisdictions at the State, local, 

Tribal, and territorial levels have 

implemented equity assessment tools to 

inform their policymaking or budgetary 

processes. What are the lessons these 

jurisdictions have learned from 

implementing or interacting with those 

tools? 

• Formal consultations for the 

National Drug Control Strategy often 

involve direct relationships between 

ONDCP and the consulting group, 

organization, or subject matter expert. 

What are recommendations on how the 

agency can broaden its formal 

consultations to gain broader 

perspectives earlier in the policy 

development process? 

• How might research examine equity 

in the context of law enforcement 

actions against drug trafficking or 

transnational criminal organizations? 

Are there existing applicable research 

frameworks that might be applied to 

ONDCP’s Grant Administration 

Programs or other multi-jurisdictional 

task forces? 

• What nationally representative 

private health, drug or crime databases 

or systems might be leveraged to 

provide information about equitable 

application of U.S. drug policy and how 

might access to such databases improve 

equitable responses? Please provide 

specific contact information for followup with those in a position to authorize 

dataset access. 

• Provide recommendations for 

ONDCP to involve people who use 

drugs, especially those not typically 

included in household surveys, in the 

development of National drug control 

policy. 

• What would be your 

recommendations for short-term and 

long-term goals that ONDCP should take 

into account to measure progress 

towards equity in drug policy?

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

Title of Collection: NSF Research 

Experience and Mentoring Survey. 

OMB Number: 3145–NEW. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to establish an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Research Experience 

and Mentoring (REM) Program supports 

the active involvement of research 

participants (RPs) that include high 

school students, Science, Technology, 

Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) 

teachers, undergraduate STEM students, 

faculty, and veterans, in hands-on 

research in order to bring participants 

into contact with STEM mentors and 

expose them to a summer research 

experience. Research participants are 

recruited as cohorts in order to facilitate 

mentoring and research activities, 

community building, and provide 

mutual student support. 

The main goals of the REM Program 

are to provide research experiences and 

mentored opportunities to STEM 

students and/or educators that may 

ultimately enhance their career and 

academic trajectories while enhancing 

NSF research projects by the Emerging 

Frontiers in Research and Innovation 

(EFRI) program and the Engineering 

Research Centers (ERC). The REM 

Program may also enable the building of 

long-term collaborative partnerships 

among EFRI- and ERC-supported 

researchers, community colleges, local 

four-year colleges, and local school 

districts. 

A REM supplement of maximum of 

$110,000 over a 1-year period. Activities 

that are innovative and site-specific are 

encouraged. Effective REM programs 

typically have many of the following 

characteristics, which are provided here 

as general guidelines: Mentorship 

training for researchers and affiliated 

graduate students or postdoctoral 

researchers; Well-designed, introductory 

training for RPs; Six to ten weeks of 

summer research (full time); Continued 

mentorship of RPs throughout the 

academic year; Participation of RPs in 

research team meetings and topicrelated conferences or workshops; and 

Guidance for RPs in co-authoring 

publications and/or posters. 

NSF is requesting OMB approval for 

the REM program to collect information 

from past and present research 

participants. The REM program seeks to 

collect data from research participants 

and to: (1) Inform REM programming 

(e.g., to identify areas of growth); and (2) 

conduct retrospective analysis of the 

REM program to assess the success of 

REM historically. 

Use of the Information: The 

information collected is primarily for 

the use of the NSF REM program to 

assess the success of the program and 

for informing decisions NSF will make 

regarding future programming and 

support provided to research 

participants. 

Estimate of Burden: Estimated at 180 

hours for a one-time collection. 

Respondents: All REM research 

participants will be invited to respond 

to the survey. The REM research 

participants include high school 

students, STEM teachers, undergraduate 

STEM students, and faculty. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 540 

(representing a 60% response rate). 

Dated: June 30, 2021.
