Q1 NSF Engines Individuals Intake Questionnaire

Background

Innovations in science and engineering have enabled the United States to become a world-leading economy, powered by a well-trained scientific and technical workforce. To ensure the United States remains at the vanguard of competitiveness, the United States must rapidly expand its innovation capacity by leveraging the resources, creativity, and ingenuity of every region of the country. The NSF Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program aims to expand and accelerate scientific and technological innovation within the United States by catalyzing regional innovation ecosystems throughout every region of our Nation to create a future in which all sectors of the American population can participate in and benefit from advancements in scientific research and development equitably to advance U.S. global competitiveness and leadership.

This intake questionnaire is designed to enable each NSF Engine to identify individuals who are involved or participate in any Engine activities, initiatives, or efforts including those who serve on an NSF Engine leadership team, governance board, or advisory committee. Upon each successful questionnaire entry, the individual identified in this questionnaire will be sent an automatic email with a unique link to complete a secondary questionnaire that gathers personal information about the individual and his/her experiences with an NSF Engine or activities conducted by an NSF Engine. Any information—be it for internal use or public release (e.g. in the form of statistical summaries) - will be in a form that does not personally identify the individuals who are involved or participate in your NSF Engine. The primary use of the data collected is to inform and enhance the NSF Engines program, so to allow NSF to better serve its community and stakeholders. Data collected from this intake questionnaire will be made available to the external evaluation team of each Engine awardee.

Questions regarding the survey can be directed to [email protected].
