IGERT Annual Survey
September 1, 2005–August 31, 2006

Welcome to the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Graduate
Education Research Traineeship (IGERT) Program online data reporting system.
This system lets you, the IGERT principal investigator (PI), provide NSF with
annual data on your project's progress. It is important that you provide these data
in a timely fashion so that we can 1) release funds for continued implementation of
the program and 2) meet our GPRA reporting responsibilities.
To enter the IGERT Web data collection system, please enter your NSF grant
number and your password in the boxes below, and click on Login.
If you lost or did not receive your login information, please contact IGERT Help at
[email protected], or call toll free at 866-227-7127. If you have forgotten your
password we will email it to you if you provide your email address below.

The system is closed for maintenance each Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30
p.m. eastern time.
Notice
This system will log you out after 1 hour of inactivity.
You must reenter your grant number and password to login to the IGERT survey
again.

Did you forget your grant number or password?
Submit your e-mail address, and we will send them to you.

This feature is only available if you have previously logged in to IGERT and
provided us with your email address. If you have not yet provided us with
your email address, please e-mail us at [email protected] or call toll free at
866-227-7127.
Survey Privacy
The Federal Government has a continuing commitment to monitor its awards to
identify and address any inequities based on gender, race, ethnicity, or disability of
the PIs/co-PIs, trainees, or other participants. Submission of the requested
information is not mandatory. If you do not wish to submit the information, please
mark the checkboxes provided for this purpose on the screens that follow.
Information from this data collection system will be retained by the NSF, a Federal
agency, and will be an integral part of its Privacy Act System of Records in
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and maintained in the Education and
Training System of Records 63 Fed. Reg. 264, 272 (January 5, 1998). These are
confidential files accessible only to appropriate NSF officials, their staffs, and their
contractors responsible for monitoring, assessing, and evaluating NSF programs.
Only data in highly aggregated form, or data explicitly requested "for general use,"
will be made available to anyone outside of the NSF for research purposes. Data
submitted will be used in accordance with criteria established by NSF for
monitoring research and education grant and in response to Public Law 99-383 and
42 USC 1885c. The Social Security number (SSN) and date of birth will be
maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974.
Submission of the SSN is voluntary. It is used for survey quality control, program
evaluation, and matching with other data sets maintained in the Education and
Training System of Records 63 Fed. Reg. 264, 272 (January 5, 1998).
Public Burden
Submission of the requested information is voluntary. Failure to provide full and
complete information, however, may reduce the possibility for continuing support
through the award/project subject to this survey. Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to an
information collection unless it displays a valid Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 3145-0136.
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 66 hours per award including the time for reviewing instructions. Each
Principal Investigators' average reporting burden is 40 hours and each trainee's

average reporting burden is 2 hours. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions
for reducing this burden, to Suzanne Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer for OMB
Collection 3145-0136 (IGERT Program), Facilities and Operations Branch, Division
of Administrative Services, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite
295, Arlington, VA 22230.

1g. NSF Highlights
Each year, NSF program officers are asked to write "Highlights" (formerly known as
"Nuggets") on the results of NSF research and education awards. These Highlights are used to
help assess the Foundation's performance in attaining the strategic outcome goals outlined in
the NSF 2006-2011 Strategic Plan and to share successes with various groups.
Your Highlight will probably relate to one of the achievements reported in sections 1b, c or d,
but in greater detail and with images. When writing your Highlight please clearly describe how
the interdisciplinary theme of your IGERT made this work possible – as distinct from what
might have been possible through only single discipline research or education grant. Also,
please write the Highlight such that a general audience can grasp the importance, value and
merit of the research, the educational outreach or whatever results you are Highlighting.
Starting with a statement of what the research team has achieved and why it is important and
then going on to explain what problem is being solved or obstacle is being overcome or new
discovery that was made is a great way to write a Highlight for maximum communication.
Reporting Highlights is related to requirements under the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA).
Please respond only if you have something appropriate to share for this reporting
period.

Done with Highlights

Guidelines for Writing Highlights
{ Write for a general audience. Common uses for highlights include the following:

program monitoring by NSF staff; reporting to Congress on NSF goal attainment;
demonstrating achievements in the NSF’s annual Budget Requests, Performance and
Accountability Reports (PAR), and other documents; and providing information for the
general public, Well-written, informative highlights submitted here may serve several
purposes and thereby eliminate duplicate writing efforts later.
{ Include images. Why are images important? NSF highlights and images are used not

only by the Advisory Committee for GRPA Performance Assessment, but also for
illustration in the Foundation’s annual Budget Requests, Performance and Accountability
Reports (PAR), and other documents. Clear, colorful images (pictures, graphs, charts,
etc.) greatly enhance the value of highlights and often tell a story by themselves.
{ Provide sufficient information to describe the research and the results so that the

IGERT Program Officers can make the determination whether or not a specific objective
(and therefore, outcome goal) was met and its most valuable use.
{ Start with a statement of what the research team has achieved, and only then go

on to explain why it solves a problem or overcomes an obstacle. Do not start with a
lengthy explanation of the problem to be solved. Example: "Prof. Blivett and her team
at the University of Eutaw have discovered/achieved/developed XYZ. This was
hard/remarkable/useful/world-changing because … or this seminal development could
lead to practical applications in …"
{ Include the location and/or lead institution for the research and the names of all

principal investigators.
{ Include an explicit statement that NSF is supporting this work (this can usually

be done very quickly in passing, e.g., "NSF-funded researchers at Stanford University
have demonstrated …", or "Astronomers working at NSF's Gemini Observatory have
discovered…")
{ Spell out NSF program names, (e.g. not everyone knows what an IGERT is.) Again,

be sure to spell out acronyms. Better: spell out "The Center for Advanced Blivitivity" on

the first mention, and thereafter refer to "the center", or "the blivitivity center."
