SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams Program Survey of
Program Participants and NSF Principal Investigators.
OMB Number: 3145-NEW.
Type of request: Intent to seek approval to establish an information
collection.
Abstract:
In fiscal year 2011, NSF created the Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams
Program to build a national innovation ecosystem by accelerating innovation
among identified NSF-funded researchers. The I-Corps Teams Program provides
training, mentoring, and a small grant to help project teams determine the
readiness of their technology products for transition to commercialization.
By design, I-Corps Teams are composed of one principal investigator (PI), an
entrepreneurial lead (EL), and a local mentor. NSF’s I-Corps Teams program
model has been replicated in other Federal agencies that sponsor research,
including the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NSF and NIH have a
memorandum of understanding to cooperate in the implementation and monitoring
of I-Corps at NIH.

87

As part of I-Corps, teams receive entrepreneurial training and ongoing
support for the 6-month duration of the grant. The I-Corps support
facilitates each team’s entrepreneurial efforts. The grant requires I-Corps
awardees to participate in an intensive immersion training on
entrepreneurship (a 3-day opening workshop, 5 weeks of activities with online
classes, and a 2-day final workshop). The training follows a structured
approach to give team members hands-on experience in transferring knowledge
into commercial products. NSF tracks I-Corps Teams’ progress, as they are
expected to hit milestones for the duration of the training and throughout
the 6-month grant period. Additionally, NSF monitors I-Corps Teams’ project
outcomes after the grant period, with longitudinal surveys conducted with ICorps Teams at two future intervals, time 1, at least one year after the end
of the training, and time 2, at least one year after time 1. To date, only
time 1 longitudinal surveys have been conducted.
This notice supports NSF’s efforts to monitor and evaluate the I-Corps
Teams program at NSF and NIH. It is a follow up to a previously approved data
collection request related to I-Corps. NSF previously received clearance for
two longitudinal surveys of I-Corps team members after the completion of the
program to continuously track entrepreneurial outcomes [Federal Register
Vol.80 No. 25, February 06, 2015 pages 6773-6774, OMB clearance number 31450238, expiration date: April 30, 2018]. NSF is seeking to modify the survey
instrument approved for the second longitudinal survey, administered at time
2.

Additionally, NSF is also reaffirming its intent to conduct a survey of
NSF PIs who did not participate in I-Corps. This intent was previously
published in a Federal Register notice on December 04, 2015 [Volume 80,
number 233 pages 75881-75882]. This survey of additional PIs supports a
rigorous longitudinal outcome/impact evaluation of the I-Corps Team Program

88

using a quasi-experimental design to understand I-Corps impact on teams that
go through the program and its impact on team members and academic culture.
This information collection request relates to: (1) a revision to
previously cleared survey instrument for I-Corps team participants; (2) a
similar survey instrument for PIs in comparable non-I-Corps NSF projects; and
(3) a proposed instrument for in-depth interviews with 10 I- Corps and 10
comparable non-I-Corps teams (including institutional support personnel). The
survey instrument for the non-I-Corps PIs is modeled after the content of the
I-Corps longitudinal time 2 instrument to enable a direct comparison of
outputs and outcomes. For the most part, it replaces specific references to
I-Corps training and the I-Corps project that was the focus of commercial
exploration with references to any other training and NSF project that was
the focus of commercial exploration.

The survey of non-I-Corps PIs will begin with an initial screening
module to identify those who have received support for projects with
commercial potential and who have desire to act on that potential but have
not received an I-Corps grant. PIs with non-I-Corps NSF-funded projects
awarded between 2009 and 2013 will be surveyed. PIs who reported active
interest in commercial potential for their research projects will be asked to
complete an additional module adapted from the I-Corps Longitudinal Data
Collection already approved by OMB for I-Corps team members. PIs not
interested in the commercial potential of their research will stop the survey
after completing the screening module. The surveys will be administered
online.
In addition to the comparison between the I-Corps teams and a
comparable group based on survey results, the study also includes in-depth
interviews to gain an understanding of the influence of participation in the
I-Corps program on PIs (and/or other active team members) as well as to

89

compare the impact of the I- Corps program on industry collaborations and
other networking activities. Half of all in-depth interviews will be
conducted over the phone while the other half will take place during site
visits to the home institutions of the teams selected for the study.
Affected Public: NSF and NIH I-Corps grantees, including PIs, Entrepreneurial
Leads and Mentors (or individuals taking equivalent formal roles in the
teams) and non-I-Corps Grant recipients of NSF Programs.
Total Respondents: 6,222 (survey of NSF/NIH I-Corps grantee team members and
non-I-Corps NSF PIs) and 160 (in-depth interviews with I-Corps and non-ICorps PIs, their teams and support personnel).
Frequency: One-time collection.
Total responses: 5,422 (non-I-Corps screener questions only), 1,342
(longitudinal survey instrument for I-Corps teams and non-I-Corps NSF
PIs), and 160 (in-depth interviews).
Average Time per response: 3 minutes (screener questions), 15 minutes
(longitudinal survey instrument), and 60 minutes (in-depth interview).

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 817 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Team Program Survey
of PIs in Comparable non-I-Corps Projects.
OMB Number: 3145--NEW.
Type of request: Intent to establish an information collection.
Abstract
The Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program was established in 2011 as
part of NSF's efforts to encourage a culture of innovation among
recipients of research grants. The program provides support and
guidance to selected grantees on how to pursue commercial applications
of their research. The I-Corps Teams program uses a lean startup
approach to encourage scientists to think like entrepreneurs through
intensive workshop training and ongoing support. The program focuses on
teams comprised of a principal investigator, entrepreneurial lead, and
mentor that work together to explore commercialization for their
research-derived products.
NSF is supporting the evaluation of the program that includes a
rigorous
[[Page 75882]]
longitudinal outcome/impact evaluation of the I-Corps Team Program
using a quasi-experimental design to understand I-Corps impact on teams
that go through the program and its impact on team members and academic
culture.
The Office of Management and Budget has previously provided
clearance for 3 data collection efforts associated with the I-Corps
workshops targeting I-Corps grantees. These refer to: (1) A pre-course
survey (2) a post-course survey and (3) a longitudinal survey of
principal investigators in the program. This request builds on this
previously approved information collection for NSF's Engineering IIP
Program Monitoring Clearance (OMB Control No. 3145-0238).
This information collection request relates to (1) a proposed
survey of principal investigators (PIs) in comparable Non-I-Corps NSF
projects and (2) In-depth interviews with 10 I-Corps and 10 comparable
non-I-Corps teams.
The survey will begin with an initial screening module to identify
PIs who have received support for projects with commercial potential
and who have desire to act on that potential but have not received an
I-Corps grant. PIs with non-Corps NSF-funded projects awarded between
2009 and 2013 will be surveyed. PIs who reported active interest in
commercial potential for their research projects will be asked to

92

complete an additional module adapted from the I-Corps Longitudinal
Data Collection already approved by OMB for I-Corps team members. The
longitudinal survey collects information on project outputs and
outcomes related to commercialization of research-based products. PIs
not interested in the commercial potential of their research will stop
the survey after completing the screening module.
In addition to the comparison between the I-Corps teams and a
comparable group based on survey results, the study also includes indepth interviews to gain an understanding of the influence of
participation in the I-Corps program on PIs and other team members as
well as to compare the impact of the I-Corps program on industry
collaborations and other networking activities. Half of all in-depth
interviews will be conducted over the phone while the other half will
take place during site visits to the home institutions of the teams
selected for the study.
Affected Public: Non-I-Corps Grant recipients of NSF Programs
common in the background of I-Corps Teams Program PIs for the survey
and 10 I-Corps and 10 non-I-Corps research teams and networks.
Total Respondents: 9,000 (survey) 160 (in-depth interviews).
Frequency: One-time collection.
Total responses: 7,200 (screener module), 720 (modified
longitudinal survey module) and 160 (in-depth interviews). Average Time
per response: 5 minutes (screener module), 15 minutes (modified
longitudinal survey module) and 60 minutes (in-depth interview).
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 940 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Engineering IIP Program; Monitoring Data
Collections.
OMB Number: 3145-NEW.
Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to establish specific
collections for 5 IIP programs for post-award output and outcome
monitoring.
Abstract
Proposed Project: NSF provides nearly 20 percent of federal funding
for basic research to academic institutions.\1\ Within NSF, the
Directorate for Engineering (ENG) has primary responsibility for
promoting the progress of engineering in the United States in order to
enable the Nation's capacity to perform. Its investments in engineering
research and education aim to build and strengthen a national capacity
for innovation that can lead over time to the creation of new shared
wealth and a better quality of life. Most NSF programs in engineering
are funded through the Directorate for Engineering, which also sponsors
the NSF's Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP) Division. To
these ends, ENG provides support for research and implementation
activities that may meet national needs. While scientists seek to
discover what is not yet known, engineers apply fundamental science to
design and develop new devices and engineered systems to solve societal
problems. ENG also focuses on broadening participation in engineering
research and careers, particularly among those individuals
traditionally underrepresented and underemployed in the STEM workforce,
including but not limited to, women, persons with disabilities, and
racial and ethnic minorities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------This request seeks approval for a group of information collections
intended to monitor outputs, short-term, intermediate and long-term
outcomes of NSF-ENG investments in research and innovation in the
Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP). IIP programs
serve the entire foundation by fostering partnerships to advance
technological innovation and plays an important role in the publicprivate
[[Page 6774]]
innovation partnership enterprise by investing in science and
engineering research across all disciplines that have the potential for
high impact in meeting national and societal needs. IIP focuses on
leveraging federal, small business, industrial, university, state and
community college resources.
Genuine partnerships between academe and industry are an important
aspect of IIP programs and should facilitate the types of
infrastructure that can sustain and nurture the spread of innovative
activity.
Innovation infrastructures educate and train human capital for the
research enterprise and the entrepreneurial aspects of innovation;

95

develop social networks characterized by shared commitment and trust;
and build a base of operational support without which sustainable
partnerships cannot exist. This support includes a diversified base of
private investment, a physical place to provide a context for
incubation, technical, management, and administrative support,
laboratories, communications services, and reliable sources of capital.
One end of the innovation spectrum within the division includes
unsolicited research proposals generated by the academic community. On
the other end of the innovation spectrum, IIP supports small business
research proposals aimed at pursuing opportunities to commercialize
products and services.
IIP is home to the two Congressionally mandated small business
research programs, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. IIP
also manages the Partnerships for Innovation: Accelerating Innovation
Research (PFI:AIR) as well as the Partnerships for Innovation: Building
Innovation Capacity (PFI:BIC) program, which stimulate innovation by
building partnerships across the scientific, engineering, and business
community. In addition, the IIP leverages industrial support through
the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) program.
The division also actively participates in NSF-wide programs, such as
the Grants Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI)
program. Another NSF-wide program in which IIP actively participates is
the Innovation Corps program (I-Corps), which equips scientists with
the entrepreneurial tools needed to transform discoveries with
commercial realization potential into innovative technologies.\2\ ENGfunded projects could include research opportunities and mentoring for
educators, scholars, small businesses and university students.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------\2\ National Science Foundation. (2014) About IIP. Retrieved
from http://www.nsf.gov/eng/iip/about.jsp.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------These survey questionnaires, individually tailored to measure
outputs and outcomes for different programs, will provide essential
information for program monitoring purposes. Data collected by ENG IIP
program monitoring collections will be used for program planning,
management, and evaluation. Summaries of 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), and NSF's Office of the Inspector General. These data are
needed for effective administration, program and project monitoring,
evaluation, and for measuring attainment of NSF's program and strategic
goals, as identified by the President's Accountable Government
Initiative, the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
Modernization Act of 2010, and NSF's Strategic Plan.
The seven (7) program-specific collections included in this request
are designed to assist in management of specific programs and to serve
as data resources for current and future program evaluations. As such,
expected outcomes could vary according to the nature of the program
funding, field of study, and other program characteristics.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------This data collection effort will enable program officers to
longitudinally monitor outputs and outcomes given the unique goals and
purpose of their programs. This is very important to enable appropriate
and accurate evidence-based management of the programs and to determine
whether or not the specific goals of the programs are being met.
Grantees will be invited to submit this information on a periodic
basis via data collection methods that include but are not limited to
online surveys, interviews, phone interviews, etc. These indicators are
both quantitative and descriptive and may include, for example, the
characteristics of project personnel and students; sources of
complementary cash and in-kind support to the ENG project;
characteristics of industrial and/or other sector participation;
research activities; education activities; knowledge transfer
activities; patents, licenses; publications; descriptions of
significant advances and other outcomes of the ENG-funded effort.
Use of the Information: The data collected will be used for NSF
internal reports, historical data, program level studies and
evaluations, and for securing future funding for the ENG program
maintenance and growth. These data could be used for program evaluation
purposes if deemed necessary for a particular 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 interesting research questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Below is an example that shows how the hour burden was estimated
for the monitoring system.
The estimated average number of annual respondents is 2,630, with
an estimated annual response burden of 3,335 hours. For post-award
monitoring systems, IIP expects to collect data at 1, 2, 5, and 10
years post-award, in order to have the best chance of capturing the
more immediate outcomes expected by 1-2 years post-award, intermediate
outcomes at 5 years post-award, and long-term outcomes/impacts at 10
years post award. These seven (7) data collections spread over the span
of 10 years; this averages to 0.25 data collections/year. For the IIP
division, many awards are made in translational research, such that we
might expect a shorter and more condensed timeline of outcomes and
impacts. Thus, some programs may wish to collect data quarterly for the
first two years of the award, and then once annually at 5 and 10 years
post-award. The annual number of responses for the first 2 years post
award is included in this table.
For life-of-award monitoring, the data collection burden to
awardees will be limited to no more than 2 hours of the respondents'
time in each instance.
Respondents: The respondents are PIs, partners or students. For
some programs (I-Corps) the burden already includes a response from 3
members of the team in the pre and post surveys. For all others, one PI
or assignee per award completes the questionnaire.
Estimates of Annualized Cost to Respondents for the Hour
Burdens: The overall annualized cost to the respondents is
estimated to be $215,660. The following table shows the annualized
estimate of costs to PI/program coordinator respondents, who are
generally university professors. This estimated hourly rate is based on
a report from the American Association of University Professors,
``Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2011-12,''
Academe, March-April 2012, Survey Report Table 4. According to this
report, the average salary of an associate professor across all types
of doctoral-granting institutions (public, private- independent,
religiously affiliated) was $86,319. When divided by the number of
standard annual work hours (2,080), this calculates to approximately
$41 per hour.
