Dear Colleagues,
As you are aware, expert reviews from members of our professional community are an integral part of the NSF merit review process and are an important form of service. This e-mail is to determine your interest and availability in serving as a reviewer for Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HIS) Program NSF 18-524. See: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18524/nsf18524.htm
We expect schedule in-person panels April 23-24, 2018 at NSF’s new headquarters at 2415 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA. (Note that, although we ask for your availability information for these dates in the survey, we are less likely to hold panels on April 26-27.) You will be expected to carefully read, write reviews and provide ratings for no more than 10-12 proposals before arriving to discuss the proposals with other review panel members. You would receive the proposals approximately three weeks before you need to arrive in the DC area.
• If you or any member of your family is associated with a proposal submitted to the HSI Program, you may NOT serve as a reviewer.
• If your institution submitted a proposal to the HSI Program, you may NOT serve as a reviewer.
If you are interested (and the preceding prohibition does not apply to you), then please complete the information in the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HSI_Program
If you complete the potential reviewer survey, we will follow up with you via email regarding the use of your services as a reviewer for the April 2018 HSI Program proposals. The number and focus of proposals received will determine the expertise and the number of reviewers we will need for the Spring 2018 panels.
Please also share this e-mail with your colleagues who you believe could serve as excellent reviewers for the IUSE HSI Program.
Thank you in advance for your willingness to serve.
Best regards,
Dawn
