NASA [Oceo] EONS-2022: Appendix M – MUREP Aerospace Academy (MAA) Call for Reviewers
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 M – NASA MUREP Aerospace Academy (MAA). Information about this opportunity, proposal requirements, and evaluation criteria can be found on the MAA page in the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES).
Through opportunities to engage with authentic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities, the MAA will increase participation and retention of historically underserved (i.e., persons who live in rural areas and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality) and underrepresented (i.e., women, Black or African American, Latino/a, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color, members of religious minorities, LGBTQ+ persons and/or persons with disabilities) high school students in STEM areas and prepare them for success in college STEM degree programs and eventual STEM careers.
The peer review process is completed in two stages:
1. THE ONLINE REVIEW: is scheduled for June 27 – July 5, 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 online review period.
2. THE PANEL REVIEW: is scheduled for July 13 – 15, 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 Activity 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 click here. Responses are requested by May 31, 2022. 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.
