Published on: 04/22/2024

NASA Research and Education Support Services (NRESS) is seeking persons willing to serve as peer reviewers for the Engagement Opportunities in NASA STEM 2024 (EONS-2024) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Appendix 11:  MUREP Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (MUREP INCLUDES) 

Information about the opportunity, proposal requirements and evaluation criteria can be found on the MUREP INCLUDES page in the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES).

The peer review process is completed in two stages:

  1. THE ONLINE REVIEW is scheduled for June 13 – June 24, 2024Online 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 VIRTUAL PANEL REVIEW is scheduled for July 9 - 11, 2024The 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 serving as a virtual online reviewer and/or panelist, please register by May 17, 2024. 

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 be contacted only if you are selected to participate.
