What are the review criteria on which proposals will be judged?
In addition to the two standard NSF review criteria related to Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts, proposals will be reviewed for their ability to integrate research and education and broaden participation in the geosciences. Additional review criteria include: 1) commitment to and expertise in design, implementation or evaluation of student- and teacher-based science activities that align with standards for content, instruction, and assessment; 2) ability to deliver results and products in a timely fashion with excellence; 3) mutual strong commitment from a scientist-educator team; 4) cost effectiveness; and, 5) willingness and ability to contribute to the overall GLOBE Program.
