On behalf of the National Science Foundation (NSF), we invite you to register as a potential 2017 Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) panelist. NSF seeks GRFP panels composed of researchers and educators from a wide range of institutions, geographic locations, and disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds. Serving as a GRFP panelist is an excellent opportunity to apply your research and career expertise to help identify future science and engineering leaders, and to gain valuable perspective to share with faculty and students at your institution. Below are details of the 2017 panels: * All reviews and panels will be conducted online and do not require any travel. * In November, panelists must attend an orientation session webinar, selecting one from several available sessions. * Panelists review graduate school-like applications consisting of one 3-page statement, one 2-page statement, transcripts, and three reference letters. * Each panelist will review approximately 30 assigned applications in early December, over the course of about 4 weeks. * Panelists will enter their reviews and scores online. * In January 2017, panels will convene online using WebEx for two virtual panel sessions scheduled on two different days (either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday) to discuss the applicant pool and make selection recommendations to NSF. If you would like to be considered as a 2017 GRFP panelist, please visit https://panelists.nsfgrfp.org to register in the panelist system. GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students pursuing research-based masters and doctoral degrees in science or engineering at accredited US institutions (for GRFP details see the new solicitation, NSF 16-588<http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=6201&ods_key=nsf16588>). For more information, see our webpage at https://nsfgrfp.org/. We thank you in advance for your interest. If you have any questions, please contact us at paneli...@nsfgrfp.org<mailto:paneli...@nsfgrfp.org> or the GRFP Operations Center at (866) 673-4737.
