Serve as a Reviewer for the NSF Engines Program
No prior review experience needed. Learn more about how you can participate in this important process.
The U.S. National Science Foundation's Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program is recruiting reviewers to evaluate its first set of NSF Engines proposals. With awards of up to $160M per NSF Engine, the program focuses on driving innovation and regional economic growth in all parts of the U.S.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get involved at the ground floor with a brand-new federal program model that we expect to serve as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth, workforce development, technology translation, and new models for driving innovation for decades to come.
Who We Need
NSF is looking for a diverse group of reviewers representing all backgrounds, technical disciplines, and technology sectors to evaluate program proposals. NSF is searching for seasoned as well as new reviewers who may have less experience with the NSF merit review process but may have deep experience as practitioners in core focus areas — namely use-inspired research, economic and workforce development, regional innovation ecosystem building, and translating ideas from the lab to the market.
