GK-12: Number of Respondents, Frequency of Response, and Annual Hour Burden


The estimated average number of annual respondents is 1,626, with an estimated average annual response burden of 3,941 hours. The Web-based collection is an annual activity of the GK-12 program. We estimate an annual average of 100 awards, 724 NSF-funded fellows, and 802 lead/NSF-supported cooperating teachers responding each year. The number of respondents was estimated using data from the current portfolio of GK-12 awards, and the estimated annual hour burden per respondent was determined using the burden information reported by respondents during the last collection cycle, when only NSF-funded fellows and lead/NSF-supported cooperating teachers reported data.

The burden estimated is outlined below.

As mentioned above respondents will be awardees (as reported by the project’s lead PI with help from the project coordinator), NSF-funded graduate fellows, and lead/NSF-supported cooperating teachers. The estimated total annual response burden is 3,941 hours. There is a different Web-based form for each respondent type. The annual burden by form was calculated as follows:

GK-12: Estimates of Annualized Cost to Respondents for the Hour Burdens


The overall annualized cost to the respondents is estimated to be $108,515. The following table shows the annualized estimates of costs to respondents. The estimated hourly rate for PIs is based on a report from the American Association of University Professors, “Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2011-12,” Academe, March–April 2012, Survey Report Table 4. According to this report, the average salary of an associate professor across all types of doctoral-granting institutions (public, private-independent, religiously affiliated) was $86,319. The hourly rate for fellows is based on their annual stipend of $30,000. The rate for cooperating teachers was established by using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' May 2011 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, which estimates the mean annual wage for those in Education, Training, and Library Occupations to be $50,870. Each of these average annual wages was then divided by the number of standard annual work hours (2,080) to determine an average hourly rate for each respondent type. Those rates and the total costs are indicated in the table below:

GK-12: Estimates of Costs to the Federal Government


Computing the annualized cost to NSF for the GK-12 data collection was done by taking the budgets for three years and calculating the costs for each of the following operational activities involved in producing, maintaining, and conducting the GK-12 data collection:

Operational Activities

Cost Over Three Years

System Development (includes initial development of the database and Web-based application, and later changes requested by the program, e.g., increased reporting tools, additional validations)

$538,107

System Maintenance, Updates, and Technical Support (system requires updates each year before opening the collection; maintenance is required to keep the system current with technology, e.g., database servers, operating systems)

$236,511

Data Collection Opening and Support (e.g., online and telephone support to respondents and contacting respondents to encourage completion of the questions), Reporting (as defined by DGE), and Followup Activities (e.g., providing data to other consultants)

$403,383

Three-Year Total for All Operational Activities

$1,178,001

The annualized cost was computed as one-third of the total three-year costs; thus, the annualized cost to NSF for the GK-12 collection is $392,667.
