FACA Committee Purpose & Justification The information in this plan was imported from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) database and transformed into StratML Part 1, Strategic Plan, format by Gannon Dick. It was subsequently edited by Owen Ambur to include the stakeholders and performance indictors in StratML Part 2, Performance Plan/Report, format. Fiscal Year:2011 Committee Type: Grant Review Proposal Review Panel for Polar Programs PRPPP 0a1e033b-5563-44c7-aaa8-abced7fe8f88 Panel membership includes individuals with expertise in all areas of the sciences involved, selected for broad geographical distribution, and to provide an appropriate mix of types of colleges and universities. Represented were women and minorities, plus industrial scientists. The Antarctic Artists and Writers panel is comprised of professional artists, writers, scientists, and educators—some, current or former NSF award recipients with first-hand Antarctic experience.

Illinois Urbana-ChampaignCommittee MemberSpecial Government Employee (SGE)Performer Panel deliberations resulted in the ranking and recommendations of awards made in Antarctic and Arctic sciences and the Antarctic Artists and Writers proposals. The panel's advice is weighed carefully by the program staff in making funding recommendations. 78d4c946-cfc5-4b4f-b238-3d1061ea24f8 NSF accomplishes its mission through monetary awards (grants) for research and education and science and engineering. Grants are awarded in response to proposals submitted to the Foundation. Proposal review panels are often used as part of the merit review process that gathers information about the strengths and weaknesses of proposals. This advice is one of the principal inputs to NSF's decisions to either make an awards or decline to support a particular proposal. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 The breadth of expertise required for fair peer evaluation of the variety of proposals received transcends the ability of NSF staff, so outside advice from scientists from all polar disciplines is essential. Panel review is the only viable means to obtain adequate review of proposals in these varied programs. e3102b97-0297-4551-bb9c-b9919bee5c3b 43e72a74-837d-4f4e-adc4-ee1d15ceea6442e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a77380273Recommendations MadeNumberProposal Review Panel for Polar ProgramsNational Science FoundationUnspecified2010-10-012011-09-30Varies, depending on the number of proposals taken to panel.5542010-10-012011-09-300724efc1-e9e3-459b-84b7-498e30bbf597Recommendations Fully AcceptedPercentageProposal Review Panel for Polar ProgramsNational Science FoundationFor a variety of its own reasons not applicable to the Committee, the agency may implement all/most of the recommendations, but few times recommendations are not implemented. 2010-10-012011-09-30Proposal review panels provide advice to NSF to inform NSF's decision on funding or declining to fund research proposals. The advice is not binding in NSF and NSF does not track exactly how recommendations from panels track to decisions.1002010-10-012011-09-3095322cee-722e-494e-ab38-a2cfc837f9caRecommendations Partially AcceptedPercentageProposal Review Panel for Polar ProgramsNational Science Foundation There are sometimes a few proposals which were not funded in their entirety, those few being scaled back from their original level of requested funding (allowable under the program). 2010-10-012011-09-30Not applicable.
