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), brief 
descriptions of: the core technology, the potential commercial 
application, and 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 hours (per response) for an annual total of 
800 hours.

    Dated: November 22, 2022.
