NSF Directorate for Engineering - Reviewer Recruitment Form
The success of NSF's peer review process depends on the willingness of qualified reviewers like yourself to share your time and expertise. Your experience and state-of-the-art knowledge enables you to provide helpful advice to NSF program officers on the merits of proposals and constructive comments to proposers that strengthen their projects.
In addition to providing a great service to NSF and the science and engineering community, you can benefit from reviewing and serving on panels. Reviewers gain first hand knowledge of the peer review process, learn about common problems with proposals, discover strategies to write strong proposals, and meet colleagues and NSF program officers managing programs related to their interests.
To determine appropriate alignment with NSF Engineering programs, please complete this brief survey providing your areas of expertise as well as professional and contact information. If another program should require your expertise for panel review, your responses may be shared with relevant NSF staff.
Disclaimer: Please note that submission of this survey does not guarantee your selection to participate in an NSF review panel.
