SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: NSF I-Corps Teams Executive Summary Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145-New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
Abstract: The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams Program
Executive Summary is an important component of the NSF I-Corps Teams
pre-submission process and conveys information needed to direct the
proposed team project to the appropriate NSF Program Director (PD) for
review and possible proposal submission invitation. This Executive
Summary (ES) is to be submitted by the applying team to the cognizant
I-Corps Team's PD outlining solicitation-specific aspects of the
project (such as proposed team members, technology, commercial
application and NSF lineage). In the past, this ES was submitted via
email as an attached two-page (maximum) document and was often in
varying formats or missing some parts of the required ES elements. The
NSF I-Corps Teams Executive Summary Form captures the same requested
information, as outlined in NSF I-Corps Teams Program solicitation, but
all within one secure, web-based form. In specific, the form collects
submitting team member information (composition, roles and a brief
description of each member's qualifications), Principal Investigator
(PI) information (and a brief description of their connection to the
team), NSF lineage (relevant current or previous NSF awards), a brief
description of the core technology, a brief description of the
potential commercial application, and a brief description of the
current commercialization plan for the proposed technology. If the
proposed I-Corps Team is applying based on participation in a local or
regional NSF I-Corps Site or Node training session, the form will
provide fields for the applying team to complete regarding the
associated I-Corps Site or Node senior member's contact information (as
a reference) and location of the associated Site or Node.
Respondents: Investigators who submit proposals to NSF's I-Corps
Teams Program.
Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 400.
Burden on the Public: 2 hour (per response) for an annual total of
800 hours.
Dated: February 28, 2019.
