The NASA Summer of Innovation
(SoI)Project will engage and support external partners in the
delivery of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)
opportunities to youth in underrepresented populations. The intent
is to increase interest and participation in STEM. This information
collection pertains to the administration of parent surveys, youth
surveys, and teach focus groups. The data collected will enable
NASA to (1) evaluate the program model for improvement
opportunities, and (2) collect outcome data to assess the project's
effectiveness in meeting the intended objectives. Surveys are
designed to obtain the minimum information required to meet study
objectives.
This data collection combines
2700-0150 and 2700-0151. SoI 2013 represents a change in the
frequency and method of collection, and a reduction in the burden
to the public, and a reduction in the cost to the federal
government. The focus has been narrowed to rising 6th-8th grade
students participating in stand-alone SoI camps.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
