SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Account Management Profile.
OMB Control No.: 3145-0269.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
Abstract: The purpose of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Account Profile is to collect information (contact, demographics, professional and academic references) on Research.gov. This profile will assist the NSF in maintaining a centralized registration and profile management process for individuals. NSF may track information provided over time to review and evaluate NSF programs, facilitate proposal submission, simplify reviewer activities, and provide data for the selection and management of reviewers and related merit review functions. Collecting this information supports the program officers across each directorate by improving efficiencies for internal staff, leveraging consolidated profile data, and creating a seamless user experience for the scientific community. This process will also provide researchers with a consolidated profile and access to their information in the Research.gov system, with the ability to easily access and update their information as necessary.
Respondents: Researchers and administrative support professionals.
Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 606,678.
Burden on the Public: Estimated 5 minutes to fill out the contact, demographics, professional and academic information, including the collection of data to fill in the fields. This assumption includes users who have filled out information in the past and do not wish to update their information. The demographic information should be readily available as the selection fields are available on Research.gov today and the professional information can be gathered from external data sources. The estimated burden time is 50,557 hours.
Dated: December 2, 2025.
