Confidentiality NSF receives proposals in confidence and is responsible for

protecting the confidentiality of their contents and their review. Do not copy, quote, or otherwise use material from the proposals. Proposals contain sensitive information and are not in the public

domain. Destroy all copies, including computer records, when you have

completed your reviews. (You may leave your paper copies in the conference room.)

Do not discuss proposal content, results, recommendations, or membership of this panel outside the meeting room, even at NSF.

Except for copies to the Principal Investigator (excluding identifying information), reviews will not be disclosed to non-Governmental personnel.

NSF considers reviews to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, but it cannot guarantee that it will not be forced to release reviews under the FOIA or other laws.

NSF Evaluation Criteria

Intellectual Merit Advancement and contribution of knowledge

in its own field or across different disciplines? Creative and original concepts? Well-conceived and organized proposal? Qualification of the PIs? Sufficient access to resources?

Page 10: Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport (CBET) Division Panel Program Director: _______________________ Program Assistant: ______________________.

NSF Evaluation Criteria

Broader Impacts Advancement of discovery and understanding while

promoting teaching, training, and learning? Benefits, as applicable, to society and industry? Educational Impact? Participation of underrepresented groups (e.g.,

gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)? Enhancement of the infrastructure for research and

education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks, and partnerships?

Dissemination of results?

NSF Evaluation Criteria Additional NSF considerations

Integration of Research and Education

One of the principal strategies supporting NSF's goals is to foster integration of research and education through the programs, projects, and activities it supports at academic and research institutions. These institutions provide abundant opportunities in which individuals may concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators, and students and in which all can engage in joint efforts that infuse education with the excitement of discovery and enrich research through the diversity of learning perspectives.

Integrating Diversity into NSF Programs, Projects, and Activities

Broadening opportunities and enabling the participation of all citizens – women and men, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities – is essential to the health and vitality of science and engineering. NSF is committed to this principle of diversity and deems it central to the programs, projects, and activities it considers and supports

Page 12: Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport (CBET) Division Panel Program Director: _______________________ Program Assistant: ______________________.

Avoid Unintended Bias

Implicit bias toward a group Lack of critical mass greater reliance on

perceptions and generalizationsFew women and minorities in sciences

Accumulation of disadvantage Mitigate evaluation bias

Page 13: Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport (CBET) Division Panel Program Director: _______________________ Program Assistant: ______________________.

Ways toMitigate Evaluation Bias

1. Increase awareness of how implicit bias might affect evaluation

2. Decrease time pressure and distractions in evaluation process

3. Rate on explicit criteria rather than global judgments

4. Point to specific evidence supporting judgments Bauer & Baltes, 2002, Sex Roles, 47 (9/10), 465-476

Please incorporate (3) & (4) in your discussions.

PanelistResponsibilities

Ensure your reviews are entered in the Panel System correctly and are entered prior to the panel meeting

Minimum of 3 reviews via FastLane for each proposal (OK to modify reviews, including change of overall rating)

You may change your reviews during the meeting: However, modifications MUST be done

BEFORE leaving the panel

Page 15: Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport (CBET) Division Panel Program Director: _______________________ Program Assistant: ______________________.

PanelistResponsibilities

For each proposal: Primary reviewer (lead) summarizes and then initiates

comments on the proposal. The lead also reviews the proposal.

One reviewer will be the scribe for a panel summary, to which all assigned reviewers provide input. The scribe can also be the lead.

The panel summary generally reflects the panel’s discussion and the individual reviews and basis for recommendation.

The summary should be written in 3rd-person. Other reviewers concur and/or add their comments. The floor is open for panel discussion. Once the final overall panel ranking is formalized,

please sign on the ranking sheet.

Page 16: Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport (CBET) Division Panel Program Director: _______________________ Program Assistant: ______________________.

PanelistResponsibilities

Final Recommendation to the Program Director

Place each proposal into rating categories

outlined by the Program Officer, normally:

For example, HR - Highly Recommend for funding (optional)

R - Recommend, if funds are available

DNR - Do Not Recommend for funding

Rank the proposals within the categories as

outlined by the Program Officer, if applicable

Panel Summary Statement (optional) Panel recommendation and rationale Ensure that this statement agrees with the overall

panel discussion and ranking sheet

Page 18: Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport (CBET) Division Panel Program Director: _______________________ Program Assistant: ______________________.

A Good Panel SummaryLeads to Better Research!

The scribe should follow the Panel Summary Template while he/she writes the panel summary.

Primary and secondary reviewers edit for substance and tone to develop a summary reflecting the consensus of the panel.

Comments should be constructive, informative, non-inflammatory, and non-discriminatory.

Finalize reviews and panel summaries before you leave.
