SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation
Corps (I-CorpsTM) Program Pre-submission Executive Summary
Form.
OMB Control No.: 3145-0283.
Abstract: The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams Program Pre-
Submission 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 Hub, Node or Site
training session, the form will provide fields for the applying team to
complete regarding the associated I-Corps Hub, Node or Site senior
member's contact information (as a reference), the date of
participation, and location of the associated Hub, Node or Site
program.
Respondents: Investigators who submit proposals to NSF's I-Corps
Teams Program.
Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 1,500.
Burden on the Public: 1 hour (per response) for an annual total of
1,500 hours.
Dated: December 10, 2025.
