the agency might perform an effective
assessment on its Grant Administration
Programs, ONDCP’s policy development
process, and ONDCP’s drug budget
review and certification processes, with
the goal of embedding equity
throughout agency practices and
policies. Submissions might consider
questions such as:
•Jurisdictions at the State, local,
Tribal, and territorial levels have
implemented equity assessment tools to
inform their policymaking or budgetary
processes. What are the lessons these
jurisdictions have learned from
implementing or interacting with those
tools?
•Formal consultations for the
National Drug Control Strategy often
involve direct relationships between
ONDCP and the consulting group,
organization, or subject matter expert.
What are recommendations on how the
agency can broaden its formal
consultations to gain broader
perspectives earlier in the policy
development process?
•How might research examine equity
in the context of law enforcement
actions against drug trafficking or
transnational criminal organizations?
Are there existing applicable research
frameworks that might be applied to
ONDCP’s Grant Administration
Programs or other multi-jurisdictional
task forces?
•What nationally representative
private health, drug or crime databases
or systems might be leveraged to
provide information about equitable
application of U.S. drug policy and how
might access to such databases improve
equitable responses? Please provide
specific contact information for follow-
up with those in a position to authorize
dataset access.
•Provide recommendations for
ONDCP to involve people who use
drugs, especially those not typically
included in household surveys, in the
development of National drug control
policy.
•What would be your
recommendations for short-term and
long-term goals that ONDCP should take
into account to measure progress
towards equity in drug policy?

President on January 20, 2021.)

Title of Collection: NSF Research
Experience and Mentoring Survey.
OMB Number: 3145–NEW.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection.
Abstract: The Research Experience
and Mentoring (REM) Program supports
the active involvement of research
participants (RPs) that include high
school students, Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
teachers, undergraduate STEM students,
faculty, and veterans, in hands-on
research in order to bring participants
into contact with STEM mentors and
expose them to a summer research
experience. Research participants are
recruited as cohorts in order to facilitate
mentoring and research activities,
community building, and provide
mutual student support.
The main goals of the REM Program
are to provide research experiences and
mentored opportunities to STEM
students and/or educators that may
ultimately enhance their career and
academic trajectories while enhancing
NSF research projects by the Emerging
Frontiers in Research and Innovation
(EFRI) program and the Engineering
Research Centers (ERC). The REM
Program may also enable the building of
long-term collaborative partnerships
among EFRI- and ERC-supported
researchers, community colleges, local
four-year colleges, and local school
districts.
A REM supplement of maximum of
$110,000 over a 1-year period. Activities
that are innovative and site-specific are
encouraged. Effective REM programs
typically have many of the following
characteristics, which are provided here
as general guidelines: Mentorship
training for researchers and affiliated
graduate students or postdoctoral
researchers; Well-designed, introductory
training for RPs; Six to ten weeks of
summer research (full time); Continued
mentorship of RPs throughout the
academic year; Participation of RPs in
research team meetings and topic-
related conferences or workshops; and
Guidance for RPs in co-authoring
publications and/or posters.
NSF is requesting OMB approval for
the REM program to collect information
from past and present research
participants. The REM program seeks to
collect data from research participants
and to: (1) Inform REM programming
(e.g., to identify areas of growth); and (2)
conduct retrospective analysis of the
REM program to assess the success of
REM historically.
Use of the Information: The
information collected is primarily for
the use of the NSF REM program to
assess the success of the program and
for informing decisions NSF will make
regarding future programming and
support provided to research
participants.
Estimate of Burden: Estimated at 180
hours for a one-time collection.
Respondents: All REM research
participants will be invited to respond
to the survey. The REM research
participants include high school
students, STEM teachers, undergraduate
STEM students, and faculty.
Estimated Number of Responses: 540
(representing a 60% response rate).
Dated: June 30, 2021.
