The National Science Foundation (NSF) is planning to ask for approval to continue collecting information about its Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. This program funds research projects for college students in STEM fields. Through this collection, NSF gathers data about student participation to evaluate and manage the program effectively. The public is invited to provide comments on this information collection by April 7, 2025, as part of their compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Simple Explanation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) wants to continue asking students about their science and math projects to help make their program better, but some people worry about how this information is used, kept safe, and if it's too much work for those answering the questions.
