pdfREU Electronic Data System Overview
This document describes the REU electronic data system—which includes a students’ log-in page (to
obtain the REU ID), a registration (to obtain basic descriptive information on program applicants),
and a common application (to obtain additional information needed by principal investigators (PIs)
to make admissions decisions). The system also includes a module for PIs to enter and access data.
The system design was informed by several sources: (a) the REU feasibility study conducted by Science
and Technology Policy Institute (STPI); (b) the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
common application system; (c) information included in the Research Experience for Undergraduate
(REU) sites’ websites; (d) REU program documents; (e) interviews with NSF program directors; and
(f) the literature on monitoring and evaluation of research experiences for undergraduates.
This appendix is organized into 4 sections:
•
•
•
Section 1 provides an overview of the key sections of the system under the Applicant and the
PI modules.
Section 2 presents the full list of data elements proposed for the Applicant module (Table 1)
and the PI module (Table 2).
Section 3 and 4 provide the draft items for the Applicant and PI module, respectively.
Note that data elements:
•
•
Will be revised based on feedback from NSF program officers, REU PIs, and students who
test the system.
Are intentionally drawn from national surveys (for future benchmarking) or the NSF GRFP
collection (as NSF seeks to harmonize collections across programs to facilitate aggregated
analyses)

1. Overview of Modules in the REU Data System
APPLICANT MODULE
Create an account/Log-in
This section requires that applicants provide a valid email address and enables them to create an
account and obtain information needed to log into the REU data system. It includes instructions to
obtain an REU ID, reset a password, or retrieve their REU ID. More details are provided in Table 1.
This module also enables verification of students’ email addresses before they enter the other sections
in the system.
Registration
The main goal of this module is to collect the basic information that NSF needs for basic monitoring
and to comply with the Congressional requirement.
This module requests information from applicants that can be used to identify unique individuals,
match them to National Student Clearinghouse records (to obtain educational outcomes information),
monitor program eligibility, and track applicants over time. It includes demographic information (such
as gender and citizenship) and current college enrollment (such as college name and years completed).
The last question in the registration module asks applicants to identify the discipline to which they are
applying. This question will be used as a filter to sort students into the registration or common
application pilots as follows:
•
Students who select the discipline that is participating in the registration pilot will be asked to
“certify and submit” the information provided and instructed to apply to REU sites using their
REU ID.
•
Students who indicate that they are applying to Sites in the discipline participating in the
common application will experience a seamless transition into the common application
module.
Common Application
The purpose of this module is to allow students to apply to sites in the discipline participating in the
pilot. To this end, this module includes:
•
Questions about previous REU participation and prior academic achievement
•
Additional information (Sites to which students wish to apply; a personal statement, a resume
and college transcript, and the names of two references); note that transcripts will be unofficial
and reference letters will be obtained electronically through an email sent to referees through
the system with instructions to provide a reference.
6
•
Additional space or functions (space for text responses and instructions to upload documents)
for applicants to answer questions or provide additional materials requested by individual Sites
Certify and Submit
The purpose of this module is to ensure applicants certify that the information provided is true and
complete and consent to the confidential use of their information. The “certify and submit” section
applies to applicants in both pilots and reads as follows:
By clicking on the SUBMIT button below, I am certifying that the information provided is true and complete to the best
of my knowledge. I understand that I am consenting to the confidential use of the information I provided for admissions
decisions, audits, and research and evaluation purposes.
PI MODULE
Through the PI module, PIs and their designated program staff administrators will be able to:
•
•
•
Customize the application to meet their needs by inserting or uploading additional
requirements (beyond those included in the common application)
Provide information that may be useful to applicants (such as expected start and end dates
of the research experience at the given Site) or that signal important Site requirements (such
as application start and end dates)
Obtain information (for example, view and download applicant data and generate data
reports)
PIs in disciplines participating in the registration will be asked to provide information on students
who applied, were admitted, and participated in research at their Sites (the system will allow them to
enter this information manually or to upload a spreadsheet with applicant ID numbers).
PIs in the Sites using the common application will be asked to provide information on admissions
and participation.
