LSAMP-BD: Number of Respondents, Frequency of Response, and Annual Hour Burden

The estimated average number of annual respondents is 50, with an estimated annual response burden of 3,600 hours. The Web-based data collection is an annual activity of the LSAMP-BD initiative. There are approximately 50 participating institutions. New institutions participating in the LSAMP-BD initiative will be added to the program over the next three years. New institutions are selected to participate in the initiative at approximately the same rate as institutions leave the initiative as their funding expires. The respondents are BD data coordinators. The estimated annual hour burden per respondent was determined by taking the average number of data respondents for each participating BD institution from the previous collection cycles and the actual reported response burden for the BD and peer student data, based on a question in the Web-based data collection system asking how long it takes data respondents to complete the instrument.

The burden estimate is outlined below:

Respondent Type	Estimated Average Annual No. of Respondents	Estimated Average Annual Burden Hours Per Respondent	Estimated Annual Burden Hour Total
BD data coordinators	50	72	3,600
Total	50		3,600

LSAMP-BD: Hour Burden Estimates by Each Form and Aggregate Hour Burdens

There is only one form. This form accounts for the entire annual response burden of 3,600 hours. The annual burden by form was calculated as follows:

Form Type	Respondent Type	No. of Respondents	Burden Hours Per Respondent	Total Burden Hours
BD data collection form	BD data coordinators	50	72	3,600
Total		50		3,600

LSAMP-BD: Estimates of Annualized Cost to Respondents for the Hour Burdens

The overall annualized cost to the respondents is estimated to be $147,600. The following table shows the annualized estimate of cost to data coordinator respondents, who are generally university professors. This estimated hourly rate 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. When divided by the number of standard annual work hours (2,080), this calculates to approximately $41 per hour.

Respondent Type	No. of Respondents	Burden Hours Per Respondent	Average Hourly Rate	Estimated Annual Cost
BD data coordinators	50	72	$41		$147,600
Total	50				$147,600

LSAMP-BD: Estimates of Costs to the Federal Government

Computing the annualized cost to NSF for the LSAMP BD 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 LSAMP BD 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)	$202,737
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)	$98,476
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 HRD), and Followup Activities (e.g., providing data to other consultants)	$127,475
Three-Year Total for All Operational Activities	$428,688

The annualized cost was computed as one-third of the total three-year costs; thus, the annualized cost to NSF for the LSAMP BD data collection is $142,896.
