                 Title of Collection: NSF I-Corps Teams Executive Summary Form.

                 Abstract: The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams Program
                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: 400.
                 Burden on the Public: 2 hour (per response) for an annual total of
                800 hours.
                 Dated: September 28, 2021.

                Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.
