The National Science Foundation (NSF) is planning to introduce a new collection to gather information on grantee reporting requirements specific to its Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaboration (AccelNet) Program. This action is in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. NSF is inviting public comments on this proposal until February 28, 2025. The proposed modification focuses on creating a tailored report template that reflects the international networking aims of the AccelNet program, as opposed to the NSF's standard template which does not adequately address these aspects.
Simple Explanation
The National Science Foundation wants to ask people what they think about a new way to gather information from scientists who work together around the world. They want to know if this new plan makes sense and if it will help them learn more things that could only be discovered by these international team-ups.
