NASA [Oceo] EONS 2022-MUREP Precollege Summer Institute (PSI): Call for Peer Reviewers-UPDATED
NASA Research and Education Support Services (NRESS) is seeking persons willing to serve as peer reviewers for the Engagement Opportunities in NASA STEM 2022 (EONS-2022) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Appendix I-NASA MUREP Precollege Summer Institute (PSI). Information about this opportunity, proposal requirements, and evaluation criteria can be found on the MUREP PSI page in the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES).
In support of the advancement of U.S. national workforce development and educational goals, MUREP PSI seeks to inspire, equip, and support students as they transition from high school to college STEM degree programs and prepare them for STEM careers. The MUREP PSI is designed using evidence-based effective strategies to enhance high school students’ precollege performance, prepare them for college entrance, and ultimately achieve success in their higher education pursuits and STEM careers. By engaging individuals with different backgrounds, perspectives and areas of expertise in the review process, your participation will assist in identifying high-quality projects.
The peer review process is completed in two stages:
1. THE ONLINE REVIEW: is now scheduled for February 25-March 4, 2022
Online reviewers will be expected to carefully read each proposal assigned and complete an online evaluation form. Each proposal should be reviewed on its own merit and should not be compared to others you have been assigned. Every effort will be made to assign no more than 5 proposals per online reviewer. Non-civil servant online reviewers will receive $75 for each proposal review completed and submitted in NSPIRES prior to the close of the review period.
2. THE PANEL REVIEW: is now scheduled for March 14-16, 2022
The panel will be comprised of a group of peers, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each proposal. The duration of the panel might change depending on the number of proposals being reviewed, but for scheduling purposes, plan on a full-day commitment for all three days. One evaluation form will be completed by the group for each proposal, resulting in documents that will aid the Program Manager with selecting which proposal(s) should be recommended for funding. Non-civil servant panelists will receive a $200/per day honorarium.
If you are interested in participating in the peer review process, please respond by February 11, 2022 toMUREP-PSI@nasaprs.com. Responses should include your availability (online review and/or virtual panel) as well as a concise listing of your area(s) of expertise. A current CV is also requested.
Please note, your willingness to participate in this review does not guarantee your selection. Reviewers will be selected based on the subject matter of each proposal received. You will only be contacted if you are selected to participate.
Please stay healthy and safe.
