SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Program 

Monitoring Data Collections for the 

National Science Foundation (NSF) 

Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Program. 

OMB Number: 3145–NEW. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to establish an information 

collection for post-award output and 

outcome monitoring system. 

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (ICorps) Program was started in 2011 to 

develop and nurture a national 

innovation ecosystem built upon 

fundamental research that guides the 

output of scientific and engineering 

discoveries closer to the development of 

technologies, products, and services that 

benefit society. 

The goal of the I-Corps Program is to 

use experiential education to help 

entrepreneurial researchers reduce the 

time necessary to translate promising 

ideas from the laboratory bench to 

widespread implementation. In addition 

to accelerating technology translation, 

the NSF I-Corps program also seeks to 

reduce the risk associated with 

technology development conducted 

without insight into industry 

requirements and challenges. 

The NSF I-Corps Program is designed 

to support the commercialization of 

‘‘deep technologies,’’ those revolving 

around fundamental discoveries in 

science and engineering. The program 

addresses the skill and knowledge gaps 

associated with the transformation of 

basic research into deep technology 

ventures. The program enables 

entrepreneurial researchers in deep 

technologies to receive support in the 

form of entrepreneurial education, 

industry mentoring, and funding to 

accelerate the translation of knowledge 

derived from fundamental research into 

emerging products and services that 

may attract subsequent third-party 

funding. I-Corps training and 

infrastructure together represent an 

important investment for NSF and the 

Nation, as directed by the American 

Innovation and Competitiveness Act 

(AICA), Public Law 114–329, Section 

601. 

These selected researchers form teams 

and participate in the I-Corps Teams 

Program Curriculum. An I-Corps team 

includes the Entrepreneurial Lead (EL), 

Technical Lead (TL) or the Principal 

Investigator (PI), and the Industrial 

Mentor (IM). During the training 

program, the team is expected to spend 

significant time conducting active 

customer discovery, including 

interviewing potential customers and 

potential partners. The outcomes of ICorps Teams projects will be threefold: 

(1) A decision on a clear path forward 

based on an assessment of the business 

model, (2) substantial first-hand 

evidence for or against product-market 

fit, with the identification of customer 

segments and corresponding value 

propositions, and (3) a narrative of a 

compelling technology demonstration 

for potential partners. 

The NSF I-Corps program requests the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval of this clearance that 

will allow the programs to improve the 

rigor of our surveys for evaluations and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
24204 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 78 / Friday, April 22, 2022 / Notices 

program monitoring, as well as to 

initiate new data collections to monitor 

the immediate, intermediate, and longterm outcomes of our investments by 

periodically surveying the I-Corps teams 

and their members. The clearance will 

allow the program to rigorously 

develop, test, and implement survey 

instruments and methodologies. 

The primary objective of this 

clearance is to allow the NSF I-Corps 

program to collect characteristics, 

inputs, outputs, and outcomes 

information from the I-Corps teams 

funded by the program. This collection 

will enable the evaluation of the 

impacts on the four themes as outlined 

in the FY 2021 NSF I-Corps biennial 

report to Congress: 

1. Training an Entrepreneurial 

Workforce 

2. Translating Technologies 

3. Nurturing an Innovation Ecosystem 

4. Enabling Economic Impact 

The second, related objective is to 

improve our questionnaires and/or data 

collection procedures through pilot tests 

and other survey methods used in these 

activities. Under this clearance a variety 

of surveys could be pre-tested, 

modified, and used. 

Following standard OMB 

requirements, NSF will submit to OMB 

an individual request for each survey 

project we undertake under this 

clearance. NSF will request OMB 

approval in advance and provide OMB 

with a copy of the questionnaire and 

materials describing the project. 

Data collected will be used for 

planning, management, evaluation, and 

audit purposes. Summaries of output 

and outcome monitoring data are used 

to respond to queries from Congress, the 

public, NSF’s external merit reviewers 

who serve as advisors, including 

Committees of Visitors (COVs), NSF’s 

Office of the Inspector General, and 

other pertinent stakeholders. These data 

are needed for effective administration, 

program monitoring, evaluation, 

outreach/marketing roadmaps, and for 

strategic reviews and measuring 

attainment of NSF’s program and 

strategic goals, as identified by the 

President’s Accountable Government 

Initiative, the Government Performance 

and Results Act Modernization Act of 

2010, Evidence-Based Policymaking Act 

of 2018, and NSF’s Strategic Plan. 

All questions asked in the data 

collection are questions that are NOT 

included in the annual, final or 

outcomes reports, and the intention is to 

ask the grantees even beyond the period 

of performance on voluntary basis in 

order to capture impacts of the research 

that occur during and beyond the life of 

the award. 

Grantees will be invited to submit 

information on a periodic basis to 

support the management of the NSF ICorps investment portfolio. Once the 

survey tool is tested, grantees will be 

invited to submit these indicators to 

NSF via data collection methods that 

include, but are not limited to, online 

surveys, interviews, focus groups, 

phone interviews, etc. These indicators 

are both quantitative and descriptive 

and may include, for example, the 

characteristics of project personnel, 

sources of funding and support, 

knowledge transfer and technology 

translation activities, patents, licenses, 

publications, descriptions of significant 

advances, and other outcomes of the 

funded efforts. 

Use of the Information 

The data collected will be used for 

NSF internal and external reports, 

historical data, program level studies 

and evaluations, and for securing future 

funding for the maintenance and growth 

of the NSF I-Corps program. Evaluation 

designs could make use of metadata 

associated with the award and other 

characteristics to identify a comparison 

group to evaluate the impact of the 

program funding and other relevant 

research questions.

Respondents 

The respondents are consisted of 

Technical Lead (TL) of the I-Corps 

Project or Principal Investigator (PI) of 

NSF I-Corps Program awards, 

Entrepreneurial Lead (EL), and Industry 

Mentor (IM). 

Estimates of Annualized Cost to 

Respondents for the Hour Burdens 

The overall annualized cost to the 

respondents is estimated to be $30,000. 

The following table shows the 

annualized estimate of costs to PIs or 

TLs/ELs/IMs respondents. 

The annualized estimate of cost to 

both the PIs/TLs and IMs, who are 

generally University Professors, is 

calculated using the hourly rate based 

on a report from the American 

Association of University Professors, 

‘‘Annual Report on the Economic Status 

of the Profession, 2020–21,’’ Academe, 

March–April 2021, Survey Report Table 

1. According to this report, the average 

salary of an assistant professor across all 

types of doctoral-granting institutions 

(public, private-independent, religiously 

affiliated) was $91,408. When divided 

by the number of standard annual work 

hours (2,080), this calculates to 

approximately $44 per hour. Similarly, 

the annualized estimate of costs to the 

ELs, who are generally graduate 

students, can be calculated using the 

data published in the 2017 Science 

magazine article that a typical annual 

stipend for graduate students in the 

sciences is around $25,000. When 

divided by the number of standard 

annual work hours (2,080), this 

calculates to approximately $12 per 

hour.
