REMINDER: NSF Merit Review Process
Survey to Gather Investigator and Reviewer Feedback
National Science Foundation

Division of Polar Programs
Dear Colleagues,
Recently you likely received email messages about a new NSF survey. If
you did, we urge you to complete the survey as thoroughly as you can.
This survey is designed to help NSF learn more about the impact of its
merit review process on proposers and reviewers. This is your chance to
provide NSF with feedback on success rates, grant sizes and durations,
and the structure of proposals, from the perspective of either an
investigator or a reviewer. The survey also asks about experiences with
virtual panels, if you have participated in these.
Survey participants should have first received an email from NSF that
invites them to take part in the survey, followed, a few days later, by
an email from NSF's contractor, Insight Policy Research
(survey [at] sgizmo.com) that contains a link to the online survey. Insight
Policy Research will collate the survey data on behalf of NSF.
If you have specific questions about the online survey site, please
contact Insight's Help Desk (surveyhelp [at] insightpolicysurvey.com).
Many thanks in advance for your important contribution to the success of
this survey.
Sincerely,
Scott Borg, Section Head, Antarctic Sciences
Eric Saltzman, Section Head, Arctic Sciences
