The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking public comments on their plan to renew the "Grantee Reporting Requirements for Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM)" as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This program supports minority-serving colleges and universities by fostering partnerships in materials research and education. NSF is collecting annual reports from PREMs to evaluate funding and program progress, focusing on research, education, outreach, and more. Feedback on the necessity and efficiency of this information collection is welcomed until March 24, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) wants to hear what people think about their plan to keep asking colleges for updates on how they're using certain research money, especially to help schools with more kids from minority backgrounds. They're checking if this reporting is really helpful and how it can be better by March 24, 2025.
