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 <a href="http://Research.gov">Research.gov</a>. 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 <a href="http://Research.gov">Research.gov</a> 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 <a href="http://Research.gov">Research.gov</a> today 
and the professional information can be gathered from external data 
sources. The estimated burden time is 50,557 hours.

    Dated: December 2, 2025.
