Q1 NSF Engines Intake Questionnaire for Programmatic Activities

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 the programmatic activities conducted under its purview and the associated activity leads. Upon each successful questionnaire entry, the activity lead identified in this questionnaire will be sent an automatic email with a unique link to complete a secondary questionnaire regarding the programmatic activity for which he/she leads. 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 NSF Engine.

Questions regarding this intake questionnaire can be directed to [email protected].
