Dear Colleague: 

The Information & Intelligent Systems (IIS)
(http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=IIS
<http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=IIS> ) research community is very
fortunate this year, as the US National Science Foundation
(http://www.nsf.gov <http://www.nsf.gov> ) and the Computer &
Information Science & Engineering (CISE) Directorate
(http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=CISE
<http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=CISE> ) have several IIS-relevant
funding opportunities (calls for proposals). This also means that we
need to find many panelists and reviewers that would be able and willing
to review these proposals.

I would like to ask you to volunteer to assist NSF in the review
process. 

Panelists usually review a set of proposals in a 1-2 day panel meeting
that meets at NSF. Panelists write a review for 8-10 proposals prior to
coming to the meeting, try to get familiar with all proposals in the
group, and then proposals are evaluated at the panel meeting.

NOTE: Non-US panelists may only be researchers from organizations that
do NOT receive support from their governments, e.g., only private
universities or non-government labs, industry, etc.

Reviewers are specially selected experts whose review will complement
the panel evaluation, as it is not always possible to have several
experts for every proposal among the panel members. Preferably, the
expert reviews are submitted prior to the panel meeting, so that these
reviews are a part of the panel evaluation.

NOTE: There are no affiliation restrictions for non-US reviewers. 

Please review the Program Solicitations and then specify how you could
help in the lower part of this message. I would appreciate your deleting
the top part of this message. 

I also would like to ask you for forward this request for help to your
colleagues and friends. NSF is interested in engaging a diverse pool of
researchers as panelists or reviewers, including academic, non-academic,
non-US researchers, and underrepresented groups.

Thank you for your assistance, 

Maria Zemankova 

P.S. Sorry if you are receiving this message several times. This means
that you are very popular :)
