This RFI offers principal investigators with Federal research funding the opportunity to identify Federal agency and university requirements that contribute most to their administrative workload and to offer recommendations for reducing that workload. Members of the National Science Board’s Task Force on Administrative Burdens do not wish to increase your administrative workload with this request and you may choose to answer only those questions that are most pertinent to you. Your responses will provide vital input so that we can implement agency-level changes and offer recommendations to reduce unnecessary and redundant administrative requirements.
The Federal Register notice with the specific questions is included here: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-03-29/html/2013-07313.htm.
Responses should be emailed to: Administrative-Reform@nsf.gov and will be accepted through May 24, 2013.
Please contact Sheila Lischwe, director of sponsored programs at slischw@clemson.edu for questions.
