NASA Research and Education Support Services (NRESS) is seeking
persons willing to serve as peer reviewers for two program elements listed under Education Opportunities in NASA STEM 2018 (EONS-2018):
 
Minority University Research and Education Project
(MUREP) Aerospace Academy (MAA)
and
Minority University Research and Education Project
(MUREP) Innovations in Space Technology Curriculum (MISTC)
 
Information about these opportunities can be found on their respective pages (MAA and MISTC)
in the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES).
 
Peer
review is a critical component of the decision-making process for
awarding projects. By engaging individuals with different backgrounds,
perspectives and
areas of expertise in the review process, your participation will
assist in identifying high-quality projects.
 
Reviewers
will be selected based on the subject matter of the proposals received.
Therefore your willingness to participate in this particular peer
review does
not guarantee selection. Your information will be recorded for future
requests for reviewers. If you are selected, you will be notified via
email, with detailed instructions on the process.
 
The
peer review process is completed in two stages. First, the proposals
are reviewed individually and anonymously online. Next, a 2-3 day panel
will convene
(either in-person or virtually) to discuss the proposals and identify
those recommended for funding.
 
Proposals
are approximately 15-20 pages in length and every effort is made to
assign no more than 5 proposals per online reviewer.
 
THE ONLINE REVIEW PERIOD IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR 5/18/2018-6/1/2018.
Non-civil
servant online reviewers will receive $75 for each proposal fully
reviewed and submitted in NSPIRES prior to the close of the review
period.
 
THE PANEL REVIEW IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR 6/18/2018-6/21/2018.
Non-civil servant panelists will receive a $200/per day honorarium.
