The estimated average number of annual respondents is 700, with an estimated average annual response burden of 4,900 hours. The frequency of response is an average of two times per year.
Respondents are award PIs. There is an average of 700 active awards each year, with 700 total PIs (1 per award) and an average of 20 scholars per award. PIs must report on each student receiving S-STEM scholarship support for each academic term, for an average of two responses per year per PI. Because of the nature of the project, PIs will have most of the data on scholars readily available and will need to spend an average of only 10 minutes per academic term entering data on each scholar, for a total annual burden of approximately 3.5 hours per PI.
The burden estimate is outlined below:

There is only one form. As mentioned above, respondents will be project PIs. The estimated total annual response burden is 4,900 hours. Burden is minimized by the fact that the Web-based screens request data in simple data entry fields, including radio buttons, dropdown menus, and text boxes, so little if any time is required for familiarization with the system. In addition, respondents can use an offline version of the survey to upload their data, allowing them to sort their data by student or academic term and cut and paste repeating data. The annual burden by form was calculated as follows:

The overall annualized cost to the respondents is estimated to be $225,400. The following table shows the annualized estimates of costs to PI respondents, who are generally university professors. The estimated hourly rate is based on a report from the American Association of University Professors, “The Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2017–18,” Survey Report Table 1. According to this report, the average salary across all academic ranks and across all types of doctoral-granting institutions (public, private-independent, religiously affiliated) was $95,176. When divided by the number of standard annual work hours (2,080), this calculates to approximately $46 per hour.

Computing the annualized cost to NSF for the S-STEM data collection was done by taking the projected budget for the next three years and calculating the cost for each of the following operational activities involved in producing, maintaining, and conducting the data collection:
Operational Activities |
Cost Over Three Years |
System Development (includes initial development of the database and Web-based application, and later changes requested by the program, e.g., increased reporting tools, additional validations) |
$144,159 |
System Maintenance, Updates, and Technical Support (the system requires updates each year before opening the collection; maintenance is required to keep the system current with technology, e.g., database servers, operating systems) |
$259,486 |
Data Collection Opening and Support (e.g., online and telephone support to respondents and contacting respondents to encourage completion of the questions), Reporting (as defined by DUE), and Follow-up Activities (e.g., providing data to other consultants) |
$172,991 |
Three-Year Total for All Operational Activities |
$576,637 |
The annualized cost was computed as one-third of the total three-year cost; thus, the annualized cost to NSF for the S-STEM data collection is $192,212.
