NASA Planetary Science Division Seeks Volunteer Reviewers for Europa Instrument Investigation AO

The Planetary Science Division is seeking volunteer reviewers to serve on the science panel to assess instrument proposals submitted in response to the Europa Instrument Investigation AO released in July 2015. As you are all aware, the NASA review and selection process can’t function without experienced members of the community who step forward and offer their services to evaluate the proposals that are under consideration. While reviewers for a potential flight opportunity such as this are typically responsible for evaluating fewer proposals than in a standard R&A review, the proposals themselves are longer and more complex, and the workload per proposal is consequently greater than in an R&A review. 

Therefore, compensation for service on the Europa instrument science panel will be greater than for a standard R&A review panel. These instruments will provide the mission data you will be analyzing for the remainder of your career, and this is your opportunity to contribute to making sure that the best data is collected by the best instruments. Please don’t hesitate to step forward and help secure the best mission possible for NASA and the science community.

Please contact Dr. Curt Niebur (curt.niebur@nasa.gov), the Europa Program Scientist at NASA HQ, if you are interested in serving.
