    Title of Collection: Office of Equity and Civil Rights Awardee 
Survey Form.
    OMB Control No.: 3145-New.
    Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
    Abstract: The purpose of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) 
Office of Equity and Civil Rights (OECR) Awardee Survey Form is to 
collect awardee feedback and input on NSF's awardee term and condition 
that requires NSF to be notified: (1) of any findings/determinations 
regarding the PI or co-PI that demonstrate a violation of awardee codes 
of conduct, policies, regulations or statutes relating to sexual 
harassment, other forms of harassment, or sexual assault; or (2) if the 
awardee places the PI, or co-PI on administrative leave or imposes an 
administrative action relating to a finding or investigation of a 
violation of awardee policies, codes of conduct, statutes or 
regulations relating to sexual harassment, other forms of harassment, 
or sexual assault. This survey will assist NSF OECR in assessing how 
the term and condition has been implemented at awardee organizations 
and whether improvements or adjustments to the term and condition are 
either necessary or appropriate to maximize its efficacy and ease of 
use. This survey will allow us to reach out directly to NSF awardees, 
to include Authorized Organizational Representatives, Title IX 
coordinators and researchers, to better understand their respective 
experiences with the term and condition and to gather their comments 
for adjustments or enhancements to it.
    Respondents: Representatives from NSF Awardee Institutions.
    Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 100.
    Burden on the Public: Estimated 25 minutes per respondent to 
complete the survey, for a total estimated burden time of 51 hours. 
This information should be readily available to the representatives 
selected.
